I've had tanning on my hands since visiting a coastal area a while back. How can I get rid of it? Any advice would really help.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To reduce tanning on your hands, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on your hands daily can help prevent further tanning.

View allI'm dealing with a Vitamin D deficiency and white patches on my skin, so I've started taking Vit D MGD3 tablets once a week and Calcium tablets every other day, as advised by my doctor. But now after about 23 days, I'm getting really bad mouth ulcers. I've even switched the brand of the tablets and consulted different doctors three times, but the ulcers keep coming back as soon as I start these medicines. What do you think is causing this, and what should I do?

I'm currently using Momate cream on my face to tackle some dark spots, but I'm not sure if it's safe or effective. Could you let me know if this is a good option, or if there's another cream out there that's better for treating dark spots?
Momate cream contains mometasone, a steroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching. However, it may not be the best choice for dark spots. _For Dark Spots, Consider Alternatives_ 1. _Kojic acid cream_: Helps reduce melanin production and fade dark spots. 2. _Hydroquinone cream_: Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation. 3. _Retinoid cream_: Promotes cell turnover, reducing appearance of dark spots. 4. _Vitamin C cream_: Brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation. 5. _Niacinamide cream_: Improves skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.

I've always had dry and rough hair, even since I was born, and I've been dreaming of having soft, silky hair. My hair is also pretty thick, and I've been considering treatments like smoothening and straightening. I'm just worried about how these might affect my hair in the long run. Is there something else I should be doing? Are there alternative methods I might not have thought about?
