I've noticed that the skin under my chin has gotten dark because I've been using a plucker to remove the hair there. Is it possible to use chemical peeling to lighten the dark skin and follow up with laser treatments to stop the hair growth?

Ive been really struggling with sun tanning on my hands and neck. Theyve gotten quite dark lately, and Id really love to get my hands and face to match in color since my face is still quite bright. I'm looking for affordable home-based treatments that can help even out my skin tone. Could you please give me some advice?

To reduce sun tanning on your hands and neck, you can try using a mixture of lemon juice and honey. Apply this mixture on the affected areas and leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. You can do this daily until you see improvement. Additionally, using aloe vera gel on the tanned areas can also help in lightening the skin. Remember to apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going out in the sun to prevent further tanning.

I was recently told I have telogen effluvium and even though my hair fall has calmed down, I'm using this serum with procapil, baicapil, and anagain thats really making my seborrheic dermatitis flare up badly. It's making my scalp super inflamed wherever I put it on. I'm really thinking about quitting the serum, but I'm scared if I stop it, I'll start shedding again. Do you think it's okay to stop using it, or could that just make things worse?

Do not stop it abruptly,this needs wheaning visit Dermaologist for the same and alternative treatment plan
