Your pimples, dark spots, and recent hair fall may be due to hormonal changes, stress, or scalp issues. Start using a gentle salicylic acid face wash, apply niacinamide gel at night for scars, and use a mild anti-dandruff shampoo with biotin supplements for hair health. Please consult a dermatologist for a personalized treatment to clear your skin and stop hair fall effectively.

Pimples, Dark Spots & Scars:
If you’ve had pimples for years with dark spots and scars, it’s important to follow a consistent skincare routine and consider medical treatment if needed.
Daily Skincare Tips:
1. Cleanser: Use a gentle, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide-based face wash twice daily.
2. Moisturizer: Choose an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
3. Sunscreen: Apply SPF 30+ daily – it prevents dark spots from getting darker.
4. Spot Treatment: Use products with niacinamide, azelaic acid, or adapalene gel (only at night) for dark spots and pigmentation.
5. Avoid picking/squeezing pimples – it worsens scarring.
Medical Treatment Options:
Dermatologist-prescribed creams: Like retinoids (for scars), antibiotic gels (for pimples).
Chemical Peels / Laser: For stubborn scars and pigmentation (done at a clinic).
Oral medications: Like antibiotics or hormonal treatment, if acne is severe.
Hair Fall Tips:
Sudden hair fall can be due to stress, diet, or health issues.
Basic Care:
1. Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo and a nourishing conditioner.
2. Apply coconut or onion oil twice a week for scalp massage.
3. Eat protein-rich foods (eggs, pulses, milk) and green vegetables.
4. Avoid heat styling, tight hairstyles, and chemical treatments.
Medical Advice:
If hair fall continues or worsens, you may need biotin supplements, vitamin D, or to rule out thyroid/iron deficiency with simple blood tests.
A dermatologist can suggest minoxidil lotion or other treatments if needed.
To tackle both pimples and the resulting scars, adopting a multifaceted approach is effective. Start by maintaining a consistent skincare routine. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser to wash your face twice daily, which helps remove excessive oil and dirt without irritating your skin. For active pimples, consider topical treatments with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which reduce inflammation and prevent new acne from forming. If you have persistent acne, seeing a dermatologist for prescription options such as retinoids might be necessary—retinoids can also assist in healing dark spots and reducing scar visibility over time. For existing scars and pigmentation, topical treatments with ingredients like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, or niacinamide can be beneficial. Chemical peels and laser therapy are advanced treatments that a dermatologist could recommend for more profound scarring or pigmentation issues. As for hair fall, there can be multiple causes including stress, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. Ensure a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, zinc, and vitamin D, which support hair health. Avoid excessive styling or harsh shampoos and conditioners. If hair fall is significant or persistent, consider consultation with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to rule out conditions such as androgenetic alopecia or another problem. They may conduct blood tests or other investigations to find the root cause. It’s essential to avoid picking or squeezing pimples, as this can exacerbate scarring. Focus first on treatments suited to your unique skin type, looking for non-oily, hypoallergenic products to minimize adverse reactions. Remaining patient throughout the process is key, as skin improvement can take time—sometimes several weeks to months.
