Ask The Dermatologist

My daughter loves swimming and playing under the sun. While I encourage her to be healthy and to play with her friends, I have to unfortunately restrict her physical activities because she is allergic to sun block. I don’t want to stop her from having fun, but at the same time she comes back with painful sunburns. Are there any alternatives to sun block? Laila, JB
After giving birth to my beautiful baby boy, I started losing hair on my eyebrows. I used to have beautiful dark brows, but now they are much thinner. I’m now afraid of washing my face because I fear scrubbing might cause more hair loss. Why is this happening and is there anything non-surgical I can do? Freida, Cheras
About a year ago, I traveled to Cairns, Australia for a holiday. I had an amazing time. The beaches were beautiful, the Great Barrier Reef was jaw-dropping and the weather comparable to Malaysian beaches, except not as hot. While my travels were fabulous, I was ill-fated to have been bitten by sand flies. Sand flies are nasty and after they devoured my blood, the bites left an ugly mark. I now have a huge sand fly scar on my hand which has now turned brown. How can I get rid of it? Lee, Taman Petaling
