I've developed this heat boil on my lower abdomen and it's really bothering me. I just started working out and have added boiled egg whites and whey protein to my diet. Could these changes be causing it? What should I do to get rid of it? Would love some advice!

I've just gone through a Q switch ND yag laser treatment on my face for a speckled nevus, and it was done by a well-known laser surgeon in Delhi. I spoke to a bunch of doctors beforehand, and they all assured me it's safe. But now, after the procedure, I'm a bit worried. I had scaling on my face, and the skin peeled off within 5 days. After that, the spots where the laser was applied turned darker than my normal skin. I've been using this depigmentation cream called Depiwhite, but it feels like my progress has stalled, and the spots are still pretty dark. It seems like instead of improving, my situation might have worsened. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?
I can sense your concern and frustration. Q-switched Nd:YAG laser treatment is a common procedure for removing speckled nevi. However, it's not uncommon to experience some side effects, especially if you have darker skin. Possible Causes of Dark Spots 1. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): This is a common complication of laser treatments, especially in darker skin types. PIH occurs when the skin responds to inflammation by producing excess melanin, leading to dark spots. 2. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations can affect melanin production, leading to dark spots. 3. Sun Exposure: UV radiation can exacerbate PIH and darken existing spots. What to Do Next 1. Consult Your Doctor Again: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your laser surgeon to discuss your concerns. They may prescribe additional treatments or creams to help alleviate the dark spots. 2. Continue Using Depigmentation Creams: Depiwhite cream, which contains ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and licorice extract, can help reduce melanin production and fade dark spots. 3. Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. This will help prevent further darkening of the spots.

I'm 24 and I've noticed my hair starting to fall out around 5 months ago. It's mainly coming out rapidly from the sides of my head above my ears, and now there's barely any hair left there. My crown and the top of my head seem fine, with normal volume. I've been using miniscalp10 and dutasteride for 5 months, but my condition seems worse. My hairline has also receded a bit, and I've always had a big forehead. I read somewhere that this might be retrograde alopecia, and I'm worried that a transplant might not be an option. My hair specialist keeps giving me the same meds, but I'm feeling really down about all this. Can you help or suggest something different?
There are many causes for hairfall rule out the cause of hair fall and treat the cause,visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management,and maintain healthy life style.
