Black spots
I am 17. After a shave I am prone to pimples on my face. I have a bad habit of picking them which leads to black spots. Please suggest a way to get rid of the spots.
Abhishek
Picking pimples can lead to a severe infection, apart from scarring. You need to use an anti-pimple lotion to check the condition. You can also try changing your shaving cream to a less creamy one. The use of an after-shave lotion would help. To remove the spots, you can go in for veg peel treatments at a salon, or try microdermabrasion, for which you can consult a cosmetic surgeon.
Making a mark
I am 17. For the past 4 or 5 years, I have been getting pimples that leave marks. I have tried many ointments but in vain. I also have oily skin. Please advise. — Sneha
First, you need to control the pimples, by following a daily routine that suits your skin type and problem. Wash your face only twice a day with a medicated soap. Apply an astringent, using cotton wool. You can apply curd on the entire face once daily and wash it off after 20 minutes.
This helps control the condition. Apply an anti-pimple lotion only on the pimples. Once the pimples subside, you can mix rice flour with curd and apply it on the spots. Rub gently, using tiny circular movements. Leave it on for a few minutes and wash it off with water. The mixture should not be applied on pimples.
Hairy woes
I am 23 and have lots of hair on my hands. I have done waxing, but it is of no use. Please suggest a permanent solution.
Sagaya
Waxing is the best way of removing hair from the arms, but it is a temporary method. However, over a period of time, waxing helps reduce hair growth and makes the hair softer. The latest permanent method is laser therapy.
It is expensive and for the hair on the arms, it will take many sessions. You will also have to find a reputed laser clinic. If you decide on laser, find out the cost and the number of sessions it will involve and if there is a guarantee that the hair will not grow again.
What's wrong?
After my pregnancy, I started losing a lot of hair. I have undergone several treatments and used shampoos and conditioners, but the problem persists. Please suggest a suitable shampoo that will help my hair gain volume and prevent further hair loss. Does excess intake of garlic result in hair fall? Sri
Hair loss after pregnancy is common. Stress can also cause hair loss. Use a mild herbal shampoo.
Heat pure coconut oil and apply it once a week, the night before shampooing. Avoid massaging if there is hair loss. It is important to relax, do some breathing exercises.
