A clicking sound while walking is often due to joint movement issues like tendon rubbing, mild ligament strain, or early joint wear, commonly around the knee or ankle; if there is no pain or swelling, it is usually not serious, but you should strengthen the muscles with light exercises, avoid sudden strain, and wear proper supportive footwear.

Tretin 0.025% Cream is mainly used for acne and improving skin texture. It may help reduce the appearance of new stretch marks, but it is less effective on older stretch marks and not suitable for all body areas.

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark patches on the face and often takes time to improve. The most important step in managing it is consistent sun protection: use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, reapply every few hours, and wear hats or protective clothing when outdoors. In addition, dermatologist-prescribed topical treatments can help reduce pigmentation and promote a more even skin tone by controlling excess melanin production. In some cases, professional procedures such as mild chemical peels, microneedling, or laser treatments may be considered, but they should only be performed under medical supervision to avoid irritation or worsening pigmentation. Since melasma tends to be chronic and recurrent, a personalised treatment plan and regular follow-up with a dermatologist offer the best long-term results.

Staying well hydrated and eating protein- and vitamin-rich foods also helps skin repair; for better results, a dermatologist can suggest treatments

Your doctor may also suggest safer alternatives for treating pigmentation while you are breastfeeding.
