My skin tone is dusky and I've been thinking about lightening it for personal reasons. Are there any permanent solutions or surgeries for this? I'd like to know more about the procedure, how it works, and what the recovery time would be.

Laser therapy uses light to make skin look better. It's a great way to get a brighter, even skin tone. Always work with a skilled dermatologist for the best results.

I'm really struggling with dandruff and I've even started getting small wounds on my scalp. I actually saw a dermatologist about a year ago, and they told me to use this lotion at night I can't remember the name and wash my hair with Kenz Sal shampoo. It helped for a bit but now the problem is back. What should I do about this issue?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab follihair once ,daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been noticing that I'm getting these small boils on both of my hands. It's really frustrating because they leave dark scars after they heal. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get rid of these scars and maybe even prevent the boils from happening in the first place? Any advice would be really appreciated!

For the small boils on your hands, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. To get rid of the dark scars leftover by the boils, you can try using a scar treatment cream like Mederma. Apply it to the affected areas according to the package instructions. It may take some time for the scars to fade, so be patient and consistent with the treatment.
