I've had these bald patches over my left and right ear for about four years now, and they're really bothering me. They're oval and completely bald, and nothing I've tried so far has made them go away. I haven't done anything about it for the past two years, but it seems like the bald patches are slowly getting bigger. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I'm 27 and from Tamilnadu. A while back, I accidentally had kerosene poured on me, and since then, my face has been getting darker day by day. I'm really worried about how to get back to my previous skin tone. What can I do to improve my skin?

Accidentally spilling kerosene on your face can cause skin damage and discoloration. To help restore your skin tone, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm really curious about whether drinking beetroot and carrot juice every morning can actually help brighten my skin. Is it true? Can this routine truly make a noticeable difference?

Drinking beetroot and carrot juice daily may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits for skin health, but the claim of "skin brightening" is exaggerated and not entirely accurate.

I've noticed some dark patches in my groin area and on my lower back, and it's getting pretty itchy and dry. Also, the skin on my minora has turned hyperpigmented and has this papillary texture, which I've only been seeing for the last few days. It's kinda concerning. What do you think might be going on?

That needs physical examination,do not neglect, that could be Fungal or viral infection, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
