I've noticed my skin has become really dark and oily, and there's no glow anymore. This isn't related to any genetic issues. When I was about 8 years old, I had frequent cold, cough, high fevers, and stomach pains, leading to taking a lot of medicine. Could that be why my skin changed? I'm hoping there's some kind of treatment to get my skin back to normal. What do you think might help?

I've been dealing with keratosis pilaris for nearly a decade, and I've tried everything, including chemical peels. It's all over my shoulders, legs, thighs, and buttocks. I'm looking for a doctor who can help reduce its appearance. Plus, I've started experiencing a lot of hair fall and have lost a significant amount of hair. Any advice on managing these issues?

Consider consulting a dermatologist specializing in keratosis pilaris, who may recommend customized treatments such as microdermabrasion, laser therapy, or intense pulsed light (IPL) to reduce visibility, and also investigate the hair loss, potentially related to keratosis pilaris or an underlying condition, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan addressing both concerns.
