Beauty queries

I’m a 30-year-old woman. I have had hair loss since school when I was in the ninth standard. I went for swimming classes during my vacation and found a white patch on my forehead. On consulting a doctor, he gave me some medicine and then a few months later, I suddenly started losing hair. My thyroid and blood tests are normal. I went to several other doctors without much luck. I hate to wear a wig. Do you think I should shave my hair? Will it grow back well?  —DeeptiIt is a bit confusing to understand your situation from the history. As you are 30 now and the hair loss was in the ninth standard which is many years ago. I feel you should consult a dermatologist specialising in hair treatments to assess your current condition and get proper medical treatment for the same.I am a 20-year-old girl. When I was one, I contracted chickenpox and the scars are still present on my face. Also, I have a lot of pimples. Please suggest the cheapest way to get rid of these marks and scars. —PoojaFor pimples you need to consult a dermatologist, who will treat you as per the severity of your pimples. Meanwhile, you can start using a good facial cleanser like Keracnyl foaming gel, or Cetaphil oily skin cleanser or Fash foam to wash your face. This will keep your face free from excess oil and will help you in reducing your pimples. As for scars, you need to consult a dermatologist specialising in Lasers.I am a 16-year-old boy. My skin near the nose area and on the nose is very oily and I have many pores and blackheads on my nose. Please suggest a home remedy or any cream. —MohitHi Mohit, it is very normal for the nose and surrounding area to be very oily as the nose is supposed to be very rich in oil glands. Meet your dermatologist and get the blackheads removed. Start using good facial cleansers that will keep that area free of excess oil. You can also use Sebium pore refining cleanser to keep them clean.I am a 15-year-old girl. I have dark circles under my eye. I am not too fair but they look very ugly on me. Could you suggest a cream or any home remedy.                             —SuviIt is very important to see if the dark circles are because of lack of sleep or because of low haemoglobin levels. Please get your blood haemoglobin levels checked. Try and sleep well so that the dark circles start to show improvement. You can also use Wunder eyes or Cernor XO cream at night for better results.
