What can I do about my skin color fading away? I used to have a fair complexion as a child, but now my face looks darker, and I've lost that even skin tone. I guess it's from spending too much time in the sun and swimming. Do you have any natural home remedies to help lighten my skin tone quickly?

To help lighten and brighten your skin tone naturally, you can try using a combination of lemon juice and honey as a face mask. Mix equal parts of lemon juice and honey, apply it to your face, leave it on for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Lemon juice has natural bleaching properties, while honey helps to moisturize and soothe the skin. Another effective remedy is to use aloe vera gel. Aloe vera has skin-lightening properties and can help improve skin tone. Simply apply fresh aloe vera gel to your face, leave it on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse off with water. You can also mix aloe vera gel with a few drops of almond oil for added moisturization. Additionally, you can try using a turmeric face mask. Mix turmeric powder with yogurt to form a paste, apply it to your face, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties that can help even out your skin tone. Remember to do a patch test before trying any new remedy to ensure you do not have any allergic reactions. Consistency is key when using natural remedies, so try these treatments regularly for best results.

View allI'm facing a bit of a situation with a wound on my leg that's taking a while to heal, and I could really use some guidance. So my bike skidded about a month and a half ago and I ended up hitting my leg on the footpath. Most of the wound has healed, but there's this small part, about the size of a fingertip, thats still raw. It's been oozing this clear, watery liquidnot yellowwhich I think might be preventing it from healing completely. I saw Dr. Prashanth BN at Vijayshree hospital and have been keeping up with regular dressing and using Augmentin D as an antibiotic and Betadine as an ointment, even tried turmeric powder on it. Pain's gone down, but I'm out of town now and wondering what else I can do to get it to heal fully. Any advice on how to stop this liquid and get the wound completely healed?
Postpartum Nose Bleeding and Eye Redness _Causes_ 1. _Hormonal changes_: Postpartum hormonal fluctuations can cause blood vessels to become more fragile, leading to nosebleeds. 2. _Dry air_: Low humidity can dry out nasal passages, increasing the risk of nosebleeds. 3. _Increased blood pressure_: Postpartum hypertension can cause blood vessels to become more susceptible to bleeding. 4. _Eye strain_: Fatigue, dry eyes, or eye irritation can cause eye redness. _Precautions and Recommendations_ 1. _Monitor and report_: Keep track of nosebleeds and eye redness, and report any changes or concerns to your healthcare provider. 2. _ENT specialist_: Consult an ENT specialist to rule out any underlying conditions, such as nasal polyps or sinus infections. 3. _Eye doctor_: Schedule an appointment with an eye doctor to assess eye health and address any concerns. 4. _Gynecologist follow-up_: Schedule a postpartum follow-up with your gynecologist to discuss any concerns or symptoms. _Breastfeeding_ 1. _Continue breastfeeding_: Nosebleeds and eye redness are not typically contraindications for breastfeeding. 2. _Monitor for any changes_: If you notice any changes in your milk supply, baby's behavior, or your overall health, consult your healthcare provider. _Please Note_ 1. _Seek immediate attention_: If nosebleeds are heavy, frequent, or accompanied by other symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or shortness of breath.

I'm not overweight and I do exercises regularly, but I've got Acanthosis nigricans on my neck and some other parts of my body. It's really frustrating and I'm starting to feel a bit depressed about it. I feel like I'm perfectly fit, so I'm just confused why I'm dealing with this. Is there any way to get my normal skin back?
Acanthosis nigricans can sometimes occur in individuals who are not overweight and lead an active lifestyle. To help improve the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans, you can try using a topical cream containing 20% urea or 12% ammonium lactate. These creams can help exfoliate the affected areas and improve the skin texture. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and keeping your skin well moisturized can also help in reducing the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans.

I've been struggling with itching all over my body for the past 3 years and nothing seems to help. I've tried avil, citrezine, and dexona injections, and even allerga, but no relief. I noticed that my lymphocyte count is pretty high at 55.8. What could be causing this?
Persistent whole-body itching for 3 years, despite trying various medications, suggests an underlying condition that needs further investigation; high lymphocyte count (55.8%) may indicate an allergic reaction, infection, or immune system disorder; consider consulting a dermatologist
