Doctors’ responses

Regarding the dark brown spots on your face, it sounds like you might be dealing with hyperpigmentation, which can be influenced by various factors such as sun exposure or hormonal changes. To manage this, incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily routine can help prevent further darkening. Topical treatments with ingredients like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, kojic acid, or retinoids can help reduce melanin production and lighten the spots over time. You could also consider procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy, but these should be evaluated and performed by a dermatologist to ensure they are appropriate for your skin type. Now, on to the issue of slower hair growth after shaving your scalp. Ensure your diet is rich in nutrients essential for hair growth, such as proteins, vitamins (particularly biotin, Vitamin D, and E), and minerals like iron and zinc. These play a significant role in improving hair health and encouraging growth. Regular scalp massages can promote blood circulation and strengthen hair follicles. Avoiding treatments or styling that might put stress on the hair, limit the use of heat styling tools, and consider sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Minoxidil is also a topical treatment that can be helpful to stimulate hair growth; however, discussing this with a healthcare professional before use is a good idea given its potential side effects. If your hair loss is substantial or causes concern, consulting with a dermatologist specializing in hair for a more targeted approach could be beneficial.
