Question 1

could freckle stop forming on skin as a person ages?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Freckles can fade with aging and new ones are not always forming.  Use sunscreen to avoid letting them enlarge and become sun spots and sun damage.

Question 2

do freckles stop coming on skin as a person ages and with proper sunscreen use?

Accepted Answer

Sun damage: Despite sunscreen use the sun will still cause darkening of freckles and sunspots known as solar lentigos. Many people notice that their sunspots are progressing despite sunscreen use. Continue to use your sunscreen SPF 30 or higher; I like physical blockers such as Titanium and zinc. Photofacials are effective at removing sunspots, skin peels and bleaching creams can also be helpful. Wear a hat.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

my daughter is now 14 years of age and is starting to get small spots on her face. what should she use to help stop these spots from increasing?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on what is causing the spots. She should see a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment.

Question 5

i am 27 years, is it okay if i use micro hyaluronic cream with coq 10 for my age?  or it will make my skin to get use to it? can i stop using it later

Accepted Answer

Yes: I am assuming you are buying this cream over the counter, in which case the only thing you should be worried about is potential allergy go the cream's ingredients. If you notice redness, rash, or swelling of the place where you use the cream, stop and see a doctor. Otherwise, you should know that over the counter creams have very little amount of these active ingredients, so it's ok to use.

Question 6

can i get a hysterectomy at age 19 to stop heavy abnormal bleeding that goes through overnight pads and super plus tamp. & to be able to join the navy?

Accepted Answer

Better ways than hys: A hysterectomy is not the only answer to your problem and may cause more problems for you. In this day and age we have medications like Depoprovera, oral contraceptives and Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD to help with heavy cycles.  Your best bet is to see an OB/GYN Provider and talk about what could be going on.  You may have a bleeding problem that needs to be investigated.

Question 7

i have got prominent dark circles and freckles.please tell me how to get rid of them.i am n indian girl if 19 year of age.?

Accepted Answer

Hyperpigmentation: You probably have hyperpigmentation. You should see a dermatologist first to make sure it is not something else. Hyperpigmentation can be treated with bleaching agents such as hydroquonone/tretinoi combo, chemical peel, ipl (intense pulse light) or laser skin resurfacing.

Question 8

male 24 .. my hairs getting grey from last 2 years ,, how can i stop it and get black colour back? no one in my family got hair grey in young age

Accepted Answer

Nobody knows: Nobody knows how to stop hair from greying. Early greying may be hereditary, in which case a guy would have brothers, uncles, or a father with early greying. A doctor can evaluate to make sure there is no medical problem stressing the body. Then, hair coloring is the likely option, until a person gets old enough to not feel out of place wearing a head of grey.

Question 9

my 14 year old daughter has been diagnosis with scoliosis... with a 14 degree curve..what are chances it will get worse.. age does girls stop growing?

Accepted Answer

This depends on : Several issues including family history especially if found on both sides, the timing of her period which if she has not had is a higher risk and the type & location of the curve.  This should be monitored closely for any progression.  If so, bracing is usually helpful with only 1% requiring any surgery for idiopathic scoliosis.  Most growth with a spurt is just before their period starts

Question 10

i am28 and was diagnosed the2nd time with prostatitis i was told that having a prostrate infection at that age is unusual how did i get it.howcan stop?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Non-bacterial prostatitis is a very common problem especially in younger men (ages 25-45). Underlying causes complex. Not a serious condition as much as it is an annoyance/bother and can in some be a very time-consuming, difficult condition to treat. Stress reduction, dietary modification (avoid caffeine, spicy foods, alcohol), prostate massage, medications used for rx. Recommend see a urologist.
