I've had these scales on my lower legs since I was a kid, and I also noticed my stomach and back skin is darker than the rest of my body. Is there any way to completely get rid of this?

I'm dealing with a 2nd degree burn on my leg from touching a two-wheeler silencer. It's been 10 days and I'm still experiencing pain and irritation. I showed it to a skin doctor but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help it heal faster. Any advice?

it takes about two weeks to heal so don't panic

I've got a sebaceous pilar cyst on my head, and I'm looking to get it removed. I'm really worried and curiouswill my hair grow back after the cyst is taken out?

Sebaceous pilar cysts can be removed through a minor surgical procedure called excision. Hair typically grows back after the removal of a sebaceous pilar cyst, as long as the hair follicles are not damaged during the procedure. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

I'm noticing a lot of premature grey hairs and it seems like they're increasing every day. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?

Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But you can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.
