Question

I've had dark circles since I was really young and even tried avarta under eye cream prescribed by a dermatologist but it didn't help at all. Could this be a hereditary issue? Would I need cosmetic procedures to fix this or are there other treatments I should try first

Yes, genetics can be a significant factor in the appearance of dark circles, especially if you've had them since you were young and a prescribed cream didn't help. Cosmetic procedures can be an option, but they are not always necessary. There are other treatments you could try first, like lifestyle changes and home remedies, or medical treatments like fillers or laser therapy if the dark circles are caused by volume loss or pigmentation

Question

I'm looking for some advice on the best skin cream to use daily for acne and oily skin. I've been using lacto calamine, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice. Can you help me figure out if it's good or if there's something better out there?

Question

I've just used Veet hair removal cream, the sensitive kind, on my testicles for over 8 minutes. Now I'm feeling a burning sensation down there, and it's looking a bit red. I'm wondering, could this be a minor chemical burn? Should I go ahead and use Neosporin on it?

Question

I'm using Seba med anti hair loss shampoo because a dermatologist recommended it, and while it seems to cut down on the hair fall during washing, I've noticed my hair gets really dry after and I end up losing more hair once it dries out. Is there something I should be doing differently, or any advice on how to handle this issue?
