My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

View allI've been using Skinlite cream for a while now, and I noticed it made my skin really fair. But when I stopped, my skin got darker, which was really frustrating. I tried using it again, hoping to get the same result, but this time it just didn't work. I'm really worried because I want to lighten my skin tone, and it's bothering my husband. What should I do?
Continued and prolonged use of skinlite cream can lead to skin darkening when discontinued, a condition known as rebound hyperpigmentation. To address this issue and lighten your complexion, you can try using a combination of Kojic acid cream in the morning and Hydroquinone cream at night. Apply Kojic acid cream in the morning and Hydroquinone cream at night for 4-6 weeks. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening. If you experience any irritation or side effects, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

I'm struggling with hair loss and my PRP treatment doesn't seem to be working. It's really getting me down because I've spent a lot of money, and I'm still losing hair, especially at the front. I'm desperately looking for effective suggestions so I can regain my confidence. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Only prp will not work. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. consult dermatologist
