Question 1

I've noticed that there's a spot in my mustache where the hair just isn't growing, even though the hair is there and surrounding areas are growing fine. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a disease, and do you think it'll start growing again on its own or do I need to look into some medicine?

Question 2

I've been dealing with LPP on my neck, face, and limbs for over a year now, and it just seems like it's getting worse. My face has become really dark, and even though there are no lesions, it looks like severe hyperpigmentation. I'm using sunscreen daily and have been undergoing phototherapy for the past two months with 600mg NBUVB, but it doesn't seem to be helping. In fact, my pigmentation is getting darker, and my skin is so dry that it feels like I can see wrinkles forming. Is there a home remedy or any treatment that can help improve my complexion and skin condition without side effects? Also, should I be applying sunscreen when I go jogging in the morning from 7 to 7:30 AM, especially since my doctor advised me to avoid the sun? Any advice would be appreciated!

Accepted Answer

I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of adding topical medications such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, or corticosteroids to your treatment regimen to help improve the pigmentation. In terms of home remedies, you can consider using natural ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin C serums, or licorice extract which may help in brightening the skin tone. However, these remedies may not be as effective as prescription medications. It is crucial to continue using sunscreen, even during your morning jogging from 7 to 7:30 AM, as sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours if you are outdoors. If you are concerned about dry skin and wrinkles, you can use a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides to help hydrate the skin and improve its texture. For further improvement in complexion and skin condition, you may also discuss with your doctor about chemical peels or laser treatments that can help in reducing hyperpigmentation and rejuvenating the skin.

Question 3

I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me for using Candid B lotion on my scalp. He mentioned something about 33 drops twice a day, but I can't remember if I should be applying it morning and night, or at different times. Also, should I be massaging it into my scalp? Would love some guidance on this, as I want to make sure I'm using it correctly.

Accepted Answer

Candid B lotion contains a combination of antifungals and corticosteroid components. It should be applied once in the morning and once in the night before bed. You should use the pulp of your fingers to gently massage the lotion into your scalp.

Is lemon good for hair?

Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.
