When I try to remove the flakes on my scalp, there is bleeding and crusting. Why?
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from two major problems from the past three years. Acne and marks and Sticky oily dandruff. Scalp flakes do not get dislodged even after shampooing. I have to dig my comb into the scalp to remove the flakes which lead to bleeding in certain areas and forms crusts. I have opted for light glycolic acid peels but did not make any difference and had few sittings of Nd: YAG laser hair removal. I have been through several treatments which made only things worse. I keep my face and hair very clean. I shampoo hair on alternate days, change pillow covers, wash face twice a day, and apply sunscreen while going out. I workout every day and follow a clean diet barring oily foods. Yet my face is oily, dull, full of blemishes and I get painful pimples. I want to remove my acne blemishes and revive my dull face. Take care of my super oily hair. Please help me. This is taking a toll on my confidence.

I have painless brown spots on the skin that grow. What is the treatment?
Hello doctor,
I have had these brown spots for the last 20 years. It grew from a small spot to this big in all these years, and it is still spreading slowly. It does not itch, nor does it pain, but when I get out in the sun, I feel a burning sensation all over the area. I once used Skinlite cream, and the spots were visibly lightened, but they reappeared. I want to know what medication I should take and what precautions to take so that it does not spread any more. Is there any way I can get rid of these spots? I have attached the pictures.

I have dark circles, fine lines and aging spots. Please suggest relevant medication.
Hello doctor,
I had some eye problem for which I was asked to do warm compress around the eyes. As a result, I am suffering from dark circles, fine lines, and aging spots. Please suggest any relevant medication. Also, I am not able to understand my skin structure. In the winters, it is too dry and in the summer it is too oily. Thank you.

My friend and I have similar birthmarks. Is there a chance of them turning cancerous?
Hello doctor,
I have a facial birthmark. I searched it up and it seems like a nevus spilus/ speckled lentiginous nevus. I read that it can turn cancerous. My parents never told me this and when I told them they told me I was just being paranoid for nothing. My friend also has a birthmark that seems like a nevus spilus. Hers is on her leg. Can you tell if they are both nevus spilus? I will put a picture of hers too.
I read that there are two types of nevus spilus. A macules and papules. Which one is mine? What about my friends? Which seems like it has a higher chance of turning cancerous.
Neither of our parents believes our birthmarks are a big deal. They will not take us to a dermatologist. What do we do? Should we continue worrying? How rare is it for them to turn dangerous? Should we just move on and embrace our birthmarks?
