My hands are quite a bit darker than my face and the rest of my body. What can I do to even out the skin tone on my hands? I need some advice on this.

Hey, can you tell me how long I should be using Kojivit Ultra Gel? Is this something I'm supposed to use for my whole life, or is it just for a certain period? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate some guidance on this.
Kojivit Ultra gel is typically used for a duration of 2-4 months to see visible results in skin lightening and pigmentation reduction. However, it is not meant for lifelong use. It is recommended to use it as per the guidance of your dermatologist and then take a break from the treatment to assess the results. If needed, your doctor may suggest a maintenance regimen or alternative treatments for long-term management.

I've noticed that my periods often get delayed by a month or two, and I'm a bit worried about it. Also, I've been seeing some slight damage to my hair and nails. Could this be linked to some sort of health issue?
Delayed periods, hair damage, and nail damage could be indicative of hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other underlying health issues. Here are some potential causes: Hormonal Imbalances 1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, hair loss, and nail damage. 2. Thyroid disorders: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. Nutritional Deficiencies 1. Iron deficiency: Can cause hair loss, nail damage, and irregular periods. 2. Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, vitamin D, or omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to hair and nail damage. Other Potential Causes 1. Stress: Prolonged stress can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods and hair and nail damage. 2. Weight changes: Significant weight gain or loss can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. 3. Genetic predisposition: Family history can play a role in hormonal imbalances and hair and nail damage. To address these issues, consider the following steps: 1. Consult a gynecologist: Discuss your delayed periods and other symptoms with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. 2. Get blood tests: Check for hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and other potential causes.
