I've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?

That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion

I'm 26 and my skin is really dry. I've noticed some wrinkles and nasolabial folds appearing, which seem quite noticeable now. I want to avoid filler injections, so I'm looking for ways to improve my skin with just medicines and external treatments like oils, creams, and moisturizers. I already switched from soap to a Nivea body wash, and from using Clean & Clear facewash to an AHA facewash. Lately, I've been using Aquastop sunscreen. I'm also trying a lemon sugar scrub for my dry skin and wrinkles and then applying a thick layer of castor oil. I've been doing this for about five days. Am I on the right track with this routine? Are there any specific creams, moisturizers, or serums that could help make my skin look more radiant and address these issues?

Thta looks like eczema,visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriaate management
