View allI've been noticing that my complexion has become really dull and dark recently. I used to have a pretty fair complexion, but ever since I started my weight loss journey and lost about 8 kgs by going to the gym regularly, it's like my skin has been affected negatively. I look pale and dull and have lost that bright glow. Can you suggest anything for this? Oh, and I should mention my skin is oily, prone to acne, and also quite sensitive.
To help improve your skin tone and regain the glow, you can try using a topical cream containing Vitamin C and Niacinamide. These ingredients can help brighten the skin and even out the complexion. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can protect your skin from further damage and darkening. For your oily and acne-prone skin, you can use a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

I've recently had surgery for a pilonidal cyst about a month ago. Now I'm really concerned about it not coming back. I talked to my doctor and asked if I need to keep the hair off the area around my butt, but he said it's not necessary, just to keep it clean and dry after showers. I've been following his advice, but I'm still not completely sure because, honestly, I'm pretty hairy in that area. So, I'm wondering if getting laser hair removal could be a good idea to help prevent the cyst from recurring. What do you think?
To minimize the risk of pilonidal cyst recurrence, consider the following: *Treatment Options* 1. *Laser Hair Removal*: Reduces hair growth, which can help prevent pilonidal cyst recurrence. Ensure you consult your surgeon or dermatologist before undergoing this treatment. 2. *Waxing or Sugaring*: Alternative hair removal methods that can help reduce hair growth. 3. *Depilatory Creams*: Dissolve hair at the surface of the skin, making it easier to remove. *Advice* 1. *Maintain Good Hygiene*: Continue to keep the area clean and dry, as advised by your doctor. 2. *Avoid Tight Clothing*: Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction and irritation. 3. *Monitor the Area*: Regularly inspect the area for any signs of recurrence, such as redness, swelling, or drainage. 4. *Follow-up Appointments*: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon or dermatologist to ensure the area is healing properly. *Precautions* 1. *Consult Your Surgeon or Dermatologist*: Before undergoing any hair removal treatment, consult your surgeon or dermatologist to ensure it's safe and suitable for your individual case. 2. *Avoid Sharing Personal Care Items*: Prevent the spread of bacteria by using personal care items exclusively.

I've been prescribed androanagen tablets and Tugain 5 solution for my hair loss, and I'm really worried after reading online that androanagen might lower testosterone levels, cause breast development, and reduce sex drive. Is this stuff true? Are there any other side effects I should know about?
