Hello,
Dark circles under the eyes can be hereditary and thus if it runs in the family, very little can be done. Vitamin B6 (Niacin) & folic acid deficiency can also lead to this problem and thus can be taken. Some allergens can also give rise to the same and thus need to be avoided. Lack of adequate sleep can also result in dark circles and thus advised to take adequate sleep. Apply cool tea bags, an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth, or cucumber slices to your eyes daily.

I have never heard of Niacin to help get off Xanax. From my personal and recent experience I recommend doing it under Dr. care and tapering off slowly. If you need some help with the wd symptoms I recommend Tegretol and Klonopin. They will help you not feel like CRAP like I did. I will try and help any way I can and answer any questions I can. I am NOT a Dr. Just an average chick with Panic/anxiety Disorder. Keep your head up, don't be afraid. we are here for you. You can do this.

Nician is a B vitamin and B vitmins can cause you to more energetic you shouldn't take them in excess esp if you have bipolar....
My little guy who is a superslim biracial child (white/African-American) has developed a dark patch of skin on the front of his neck. It looks a bit scaley in appearrance. It does not hurt or itch he says. In trying to find some info on what it might be, I ran across Acanthosis Nigricans, but it says it mostly occurs in overweight and obese children. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm a little worried about the risk for type 2 diabetes if that is what this indicates.

Tried to get rid of them, as i went to a skin doctor and he removed them but they came back again! I hate not having makeup on because i have all those black heads and some on my chin and my forehead, as i also have some white heads too! Best way to get red of them forever anyone? *sigh*
Other than that pimples and spots of removed pimples like the ones which pain and then become white full of dirt i guess!
Currently manufacturers of skin products have been trying to provide a wide array of skin care products to suit each skin type. For an individual to get the best skin care, one should follow a particular regimen of cleansing, toning , exfoliating and moisturizing.
As one grows older however, exfoliation may damage the thinning skin. Cleansing and moisturizing are still essential as one ages. The use of sunscreen for the face is still a must.
