I've noticed a dark spot on my nose and mouth, and I'm trying to figure out what's causing it. Could it be related to dandruff or maybe whiteheads on my nose? I'm really curious to understand why this is happening and how I might be able to manage it. Any advice would be really helpful.

To control dark spots on your nose and mouth, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, retinoids, and corticosteroids. Additionally, using sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the spots. It is also important to maintain a good skincare routine, including gentle cleansing and exfoliation. For dandruff or whiteheads on the nose, you can use anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. For whiteheads, topical treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can be effective. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided on the product packaging.

I've been feeling this intense heat on the top of my head whenever I place my hand there. Some people mention it might be due to body heat, so I've tried doing an oil bath 3 to 4 times, but it hasn't really helped. I'm just wondering what might be causing this and what kind of doctor I should see about it?

The persistent heat sensation in your head, despite frequent oil baths, could be related to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or underlying medical conditions, such as hypertension, thyroid disorders, or neurological issues, so consider consulting a neurologist
