Question 1

Dark spots on lower back ..close to spinal cord. No pain No itch.
Started over a month and it spreads

Accepted Answer

Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can cause discolored patches. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can use a medicated shampoo containing selenium sulfide to wash the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

Question 4

I have really bad under eye dark circles since i have started wearing glasses.Does having dark circles have anything to do with wearing powered glasses and how do i remove them

Accepted Answer

Dark circles under the eyes 
1. _Indirect connection_: Wearing glasses can lead to increased eye strain, rubbing, and poor circulation, which may contribute to dark circles.
2. _Not a direct cause_: Glasses themselves do not directly cause dark circles.

_Removing Dark Circles_

1. _Eye creams_: Use a cream containing caffeine, peptides, or vitamin K to reduce puffiness and discoloration.
2. _Cold compress_: Apply a cold, damp cloth to the area to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling.
3. _Elevate your head_: Sleep with an extra pillow to reduce fluid accumulation under your eyes.
4. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and plump.
5. _Get enough sleep_: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to help reduce puffiness and dark circles.
6. _Avoid rubbing your eyes_: Gently pat the area instead of rubbing, which can cause further irritation.

_Glasses-Related Tips_

1. _Adjust your glasses_: Ensure your glasses fit properly and don't put pressure on your nose or eyes.
2. _Follow the 20-20-20 rule_: Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
3. _Blink regularly_: Make a conscious effort to blink while wearing glasses to prevent dry eyes.
