I've been working as an assistant professor at an engineering college, and I've been using a skin cream called My Fair for about two months. But just last week, I went to my village and spent a lot of time working under the sun in the fields. This made my skin turn extremely dark. My friend, who recommended the cream, said I should have used sunscreen when going out. Thankfully, my skin's back to normal with the same cream, but I'm really troubled by what happened. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent this in the future and how to deal with this dependency on the cream? Id really appreciate some guidance.

View allI'm 28 and I've been dealing with these malar bags. I really don't want to go under the knife, so I've been trying different massages and even icing them. Is there anything else I can do to help reduce them or should I consider other treatments? I'm just really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been dealing with hair thinning for about 10 months now. My hair used to be super thick, dense, and even wavy at 11 inches long. It started thinning at the whorl and spread in a whirpool direction across the top, front, and the sides. In the last 3 months, I've noticed noticeable thinning at my crown and the back of my head too. I did get a buzz cut 5 months ago, and my temples have receded just a bit, maybe a centimeter. My scalp was super dry and tight a while ago but that seems to be back to normal now. I've always had dandruff, those small white flakes, mostly during the winters. Looking at my family history, both grandfathers had no hair loss until the end. My dads at a Norwood 2, two uncles are bald, probably due to diabetes, and one has a full head of hair. On my moms side, two uncles are bald and two have no hair loss. I'm concerned because I've lost a lot of hair density in these 10 months, it's probably half what I had before. Any advice on whats happening or what I should do? I've got some photos attached if that helps.
this looks like androgenic alopecia which is male pattern baldness,there are good treatment modalities which would help in preventing further hairfall and regrowth of your hair,visit your dermatologist for appropriate management,above this consume balanced diet with extra protien which would help in giving strength to your hair.

My skin's been really dry and it's causing quite a bit of pain. Someone suggested I try using Venusia cream, but I'm worried it might have steroids in it. Can you help me figure out if this cream is safe to use, or if I should look for something else?
if you want to ensure that the cream you are using does not contain steroids, you can use Venusia Max Cream. It is a steroid-free moisturizing cream that can help with dry and painful skin. Apply a thin layer of Venusia Max Cream on the affected area twice a day for best results.
