I've noticed this dark patch of skin on my lower abdomen for the past few months, and now there's a red border forming around it. It's not itchy or raised, and it doesn't feel any different from the surrounding skin. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

View allI'm an 18-year-old and my hair is just so smooth and silky that it keeps falling out, and it's really hard to keep any hairstyle in place because of that. I'm really hoping to find some solutions to make my hair a bit rougher so I can actually style it the way I want. What can I do to get that kind of texture?
Consider using hair products containing ingredients like sea salt, texturizing sprays, or dry shampoo to add volume and texture, or try hairstyles that work with silky hair, such as braids, buns, or ponytails, and for a more permanent solution, consult a Dermatologist

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but my skin's really irritated after applying it. I know the irritation might go away after a few weeks, but now I've got this dark line on one side of my lip that isn't fading. Do you think this will become a permanent black patch or is it likely to disappear on its own?
It's likely a side effect of the deriva bpo gel known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur as a result of skin irritation or inflammation. In most cases, this dark patch should fade over time once you stop using the gel. To help speed up the process, you can try using a topical skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid.
