You may notice dry flakes, fine scaling, or sheets of loose skin after a chemical peel, laser treatment, or another cosmetic procedure. This can be an expected part of recovery, but the amount of peeling and the time it lasts depend on the treatment performed. Skin peeling after a cosmetic procedure occurs for different reasons. Some procedures encourage the shedding of surface skin cells, while others temporarily disrupt the skin barrier as the tissue heals. Excessive burning, increasing pain, or unusual swelling should not automatically be considered normal recovery. Knowing what to expect can help you protect the treated area, avoid unnecessary irritation, and recognise when professional advice is needed. What Causes Peeling After a Cosmetic Treatment? The outermost layer of skin is continually renewed. Cosmetic procedures can change the pace or pattern of this renewal, making dry or damaged surface cells more noticeable. The explanation depends on the treatment. A chemic...

A widening parting or a small bald patch can have several explanations. However, when hair loss appears alongside scalp redness, burning, itching or tenderness, it deserves closer attention. One possible cause is lichen planopilaris (LPP) , an inflammatory condition that affects hair follicles. Unlike many common forms of hair thinning, lichen planopilaris can destroy hair follicles and replace them with scar tissue. This makes early recognition important. Treatment aims to control inflammation and protect the follicles that remain, rather than promising regrowth in areas where permanent scarring has already occurred. What Happens to the Scalp in Lichen Planopilaris? Lichen planopilaris is a form of lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia, also called scarring hair loss. In this condition, inflammatory cells attack structures around the hair follicles. The exact cause is not fully understood, although immune-system activity appears to play an important role. As inflammation damages a ...

Small bumps on the buttocks can make sitting, exercising and wearing certain clothes uncomfortable. Some look like ordinary pimples. Others appear as red spots, rough bumps or deeper, painful lumps beneath the skin. Although many people call these breakouts acne on buttocks, not every bump is caused by acne. Folliculitis, friction, ingrown hairs and other skin conditions can produce similar symptoms. Understanding the possible cause helps you choose a suitable approach instead of trying several products at once. Is It Really Acne? Facial acne commonly develops when hair follicles become blocked by oil and dead skin cells. It may produce blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed pimples and deeper nodules. The buttocks have a different pattern of breakouts. Many bumps in this area are related to inflammation around hair follicles rather than typical acne. This condition is called folliculitis. Folliculitis can cause clusters of small red bumps or pus-filled spots. The bumps may itch, f...

Dark patches on the face, forehead, temples, neck, or other areas of the body can develop gradually and may remain visible for a long time. When pigmentation does not respond to ordinary skincare, identifying the underlying condition becomes important. Lichen Planus Pigmentosus is an inflammatory skin condition associated with grey-brown to dark-brown patches. It belongs to a group of disorders that affect skin pigmentation. The condition can be persistent, and its appearance may overlap with other causes of dark marks. Recognising its typical features can help people understand when a dermatological assessment is appropriate. However, a photograph or the colour of a patch alone cannot confirm the diagnosis. How Does Lichen Planus Pigmentosus Appear? The condition often presents as flat, brownish-grey or dark-brown patches. The edges may be poorly defined, and the marks can gradually become more noticeable or spread to nearby areas. Commonly affected areas include: ·  ...

Recovering from an illness or surgery can be challenging enough without noticing more hair on your pillow, comb, or bathroom floor. Yet hair fall after hospitalisation is a recognised problem. It can occur after a major illness, a surgical procedure, a period of high fever, or a physically stressful recovery. The encouraging news is that this type of shedding is often temporary. However, its cause matters. Understanding the connection between illness, nutrition, medication, and the hair growth cycle can help you decide what to do next. Why Can Hospitalisation Trigger Hair Shedding? Hair grows in a cycle. Each follicle passes through a growth phase, a transition phase, and a resting phase before the hair is released. Normally, different follicles move through these stages at different times. A major physical stressor can disrupt this pattern. More follicles may enter the resting phase together, leading to increased shedding several weeks or months later. This pattern is called ...
