Accepted Answer

Brown Spots on hands: There are several causes for brown spots on your hands, not all of which have to do with a vitamin deficiency. Brown spots may be due to a lack of vitamin c or b12, anemia, weak liver function or cumulative sun damage. It's important to investigate each potential cause; your doctor can help. If your brown spots are indeed caused by a lack of essential nutrients, add a vitamin supplement.

Question 10

fair and white skin products, . do they work actually work?

Accepted Answer

Don't do it: These products can disfigure you, and even if they bleach you, it won't look natural or right. Beyond using sunscreen, your skin color is what Nature gave you, and people who love you for who you are also cherish the skin color you were born with. Here in the US where trends are set, trying to change one's natural color is considered the height of ignorance. Embrace who you are.
