I've noticed that my skin tone has gotten darker over the years. I used to have a lighter, whitish complexion until around ages 10 or 11, but it's changed gradually since then. I went to a dermatologist who recommended a skin lightening cream called Declipse, but I've been using it for a month without seeing much improvement. I'm feeling a bit concerned and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I've been struggling with dark circles for years, and I'm wondering how I can get rid of them. What kind of treatment would you recommend, and how much does it usually cost? Are there any side effects I should be concerned about? Or maybe are there any home remedies that could help reduce them permanently? I'm really hoping to find a solution.

I'm really worried about my hair loss over the past few months. I've been losing a lot, like 200-250 strands a day, and it's freaking me out. My scalp is painful when I touch it and feels warm too. I've had issues with Seb derm in the past, but medication helped then. Now, I'm also dealing with a Vitamin D deficiency and started supplements last month. Im using a mild shampoo and washing my hair every other day, but nothing seems to help. I know I need to look into a full treatment plan, but I'm not sure where to start. Can you guide me?

My eyes look sunken with dark circles around them and I'm really worried about it. I took a picture in dim light so you can see what I mean. Are there any home remedies to fix this, or is surgery the only option? I'd prefer something natural if possible. Can you suggest what might help?
