I've got this black spot on my shoulder and back that we call Bhabuti in my local language. I'm really not sure how it started, but it definitely spreads more when the summer months come around. Can you provide any advice or solutions on how to deal with it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

View allI'm a brown-skinned girl and my dermatologist suggested I use KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM for the pigmentation around my mouth. I noticed it has 2% Hydroquinone, and I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe. Could it possibly make my pigmentation worse or darker? Can you help me understand if it's okay to use this cream?
KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM contains 2% HYDROQUINONE which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. It is generally safe to use for treating pigmentation issues when used as directed by a healthcare professional. However, prolonged and excessive use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin darkening, redness, or irritation. To ensure safe use of KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM, it is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application. It is also recommended to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation. If you experience any severe side effects or worsening of pigmentation, please consult your dermatologist for further guidance.

I'm noticing some dark spots on my feet, and it's kind of worrying me. There's no itching or anything, but I'm really curious about what might be causing them. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Dark spots on the feet without itching could be due to a condition called hyperpigmentation. This can be caused by various factors such as friction, sun exposure, or even certain medical conditions. To help lighten the dark spots, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone 4% along with glycolic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily in the evening. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further darkening of the spots.
