Doctors’ responses

Addressing issues like grey hair, acne, acne marks, and tanning involves tackling each concern with a focused approach, considering underlying causes and appropriate treatment strategies. Let’s break it down. Grey hair can be quite frustrating. A primary factor is genetics, but stress and nutritional deficiencies can also contribute to premature greying. Ensuring a diet rich in B-vitamins, especially B12, and minerals like zinc and copper might help maintain hair pigmentation. Though it’s not completely preventable, keeping a balanced diet can manage it to some extent. Now, acne can arise from hormonal changes, diet, stress, and improper skincare. Using a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic (won’t clog your pores) moisturizers can help reduce breakouts. Over-the-counter treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can be effective. Persisting or severe cases may need prescription treatments from a dermatologist. Acne marks can be targeted with topical treatments like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which promote skin cell turnover and reduce pigmentation over time. For more pronounced scarring, options like chemical peels or laser treatments, performed by a skincare professional, could be considered. Tanning from sun exposure requires protective measures. Regular use of sunscreen with a high SPF and avoiding peak sun hours can prevent further tanning and skin damage. For existing tan, exfoliants such as those containing AHAs or glycolic acid help lighten it over time. Remember, sun protection is essential as it also guards against skin aging and reduces skin cancer risk. If you feel any of these concerns are severely affecting your life, consult a healthcare provider to explore more tailored solutions.
