To clean pores at home, gently wash your face twice daily with a mild cleanser, use steam for 5?10 minutes once or twice a week to open pores, and apply simple remedies like a multani mitti (fuller?s earth) or honey mask to absorb oil and dirt. You can also use a mild scrub (like oatmeal or sugar with curd) once a week to remove dead skin, but avoid over-scrubbing.

Blackheads under or around the eyes, along with darkening, are usually related more to clogged pores, excess oil, friction, sun exposure, or pigmentation rather than a serious vitamin deficiency. Sometimes, lack of sleep, stress, allergies, rubbing the eyes frequently, or hereditary dark circles can make the area look darker and more noticeable. Since the skin around the eyes is very delicate, harsh scrubs or strong acne creams can easily cause irritation and worsen pigmentation. Gentle skincare works best here. Mild ingredients like niacinamide or low-strength retinol-based under-eye creams may gradually improve texture and pigmentation when used carefully, while salicylic acid is sometimes used for blackheads but should be kept away from the immediate eye area. Regular sunscreen and proper sleep are also important because sun exposure and fatigue can make darkness more prominent. Avoid squeezing or aggressively cleaning the area. If the bumps are tiny white or skin-colored lesions rather than true blackheads, they could be milia, which may need different treatment from a dermatologist.

Salicylix SF 6% Ointment is not suitable for treating dark circles under the eyes. It contains salicylic acid, a strong peeling agent used for conditions such as thick or scaly skin, including psoriasis, corns, or calluses. The skin around the eyes is very delicate, and applying this ointment there may cause irritation, burning, redness, or even skin damage. Dark circles can result from pigmentation, genetics, lack of sleep, allergies, stress, or eye strain, and treatment depends on the underlying cause. Maintaining good sleep, adequate hydration, stress management, limiting screen time, and avoiding excessive eye rubbing may help reduce worsening dark circles. Since your dark circles have been present for 4–5 years, it is best to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and safe, specifically designed treatment options for the under-eye area.

Psoriasis on the hands (a chronic skin condition) is best managed with a combination of regular skin care and doctor-prescribed treatment. Most people improve with medicated creams such as topical steroids, vitamin D analogues, or coal tar preparations to reduce inflammation and scaling, along with frequent use of moisturizers to keep the skin soft and prevent cracking. Avoid triggers like stress, harsh soaps, and skin injury, and protect your hands with gloves when needed. In more stubborn or severe cases, a dermatologist may recommend phototherapy (light treatment) or oral medicines. Since psoriasis tends to come and go, consistent treatment and follow-up are important to keep it under control and prevent flare-ups.

Dryness around the eyebrows and at the corners of the nose for a long time can be due to skin irritation, dandruff-related skin changes, or a reaction to hair-loss medicines. Use a gentle face wash, apply a light natural moisturiser like aloe vera or coconut oil, and avoid harsh products on the face. Keep the area clean, avoid rubbing, and maintain good hydration to support skin healing. If it does not improve, consult a doctor to check the cause and adjust treatment if needed.
