I'm really struggling with my skin right now. I've been using panderm plus cream for the last three years. It works well, but the side effects are messing me up. Every time I try to stop using it, my face starts itching, burning, breaking out, and gets all red and flaky in just two days. I'm desperate to stop using it but just can't handle how my skin reacts. Do you have any suggestions for something that won't have these crazy side effects and could help keep my skin clear and glowing?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?

I've been wondering if drinking a lot of tea and coffee can actually cause grey hair. I recently read that caffeine might be bad for your hair and could even lead to it turning grey. Is there any truth to this?

Let's dive into the relationship between tea, coffee, caffeine, and gray hair. Caffeine and Hair Health Caffeine is a stimulant found in tea, coffee, and some medications. While moderate caffeine consumption is generally safe, excessive intake may negatively impact hair health. Potential Effects of Caffeine on Hair 1. Hormonal Imbalance: Caffeine can disrupt hormonal balances, particularly affecting the thyroid gland. Hormonal changes can contribute to hair graying, thinning, or loss. 2. Stress and Adrenaline: Caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline, which can increase stress levels. Prolonged stress may lead to an increase in free radicals, potentially damaging hair follicles and contributing to graying. 3. Sleep Disturbances: Consuming caffeine in large amounts or too close to bedtime can disrupt sleep patterns. Poor sleep quality and duration can affect hair growth and potentially lead to graying. 4. Nutrient Deficiencies: Excessive caffeine consumption may lead to an imbalance of essential nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. These deficiencies can impact hair health, potentially causing graying or other issues.
