I've noticed that my face used to be quite fair, but now it's gradually getting darker. It's really worrying me and I'm not sure what to do. Can you suggest any medical treatments or advice for why my face keeps getting darker day by day?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A darkening face can be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, sun exposure, or skin conditions like melasma; to address this issue, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, and potential medical treatments may include topical creams or serums containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or vitamin C to help lighten and even out your skin tone, as well as sun protection measures like broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and a hat to prevent further darkening.

View allHey, so I've noticed a weird lump on my buttocks that popped up last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch and eventually thought it healed. But now it's come back, and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any idea what this could be or what I should do about it?
I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.

I'm really concerned about a possible connection between the medication I've been taking, Saaz DS, and developing allergies. Recently, I've noticed symptoms that remind me of ringworm, and it's making me anxious. I've been on Saaz DS 1g twice daily for about a year now. Could there be a link, and should I be worried?
Saaz DS (Sulfasalazine) is not typically used to treat allergies or ringworm. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. If you are experiencing symptoms of allergies or ringworm, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Minoxidil 5 and Finasteride 0.1 Topical Solution for the last couple of years. At first, everything seemed great, but now my hair's falling out more than ever. Plus, I'm dealing with acne as well. Could this be a sign of some hormonal imbalance? My CBC showed I'm low on Vit D3 and B12, but I've been taking the prescribed pills for that. I try to work out a bit and my diet's just regular Indian food, nothing fancy. I'm not really keen on treatments like PRP but I'm wondering if I should switch to Oral Finasteride. What do you think?
