Question

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use lacto calamine and sunscreen since I have slightly oily skin. Should I put on the lacto calamine before or after the sunscreen for better protection? I'm a bit confused about the right order and don't want to mess it up.

Question

I've been dealing with this issue for more than 17 years. It all started with one or two pimple-like bumps filled with pus on my scalp, and now they've gotten bigger and show up almost everywhere on my scalp except the bald areas. I've seen multiple doctors, and while the problem goes away with medication, it always comes back when I stop taking it. One doctor mentioned a powerful medicine that might affect my kidneys, so I stuck with the current medication, but there's still no relief. It's been this way for over a decade, and whenever the bumps appear, I use antibiotics like Gudcef CV 200 and Azithromycin, among others. I've also tried shampoos like Candid TV and Nizoral ketoconazole. I even consulted a doctor last year hoping for a permanent fix, but he seemed money-minded and kept me on repeated medication. Could you give some advice on how I might manage this condition more effectively or if theres a treatment that might help in the long run?

Question

I've been feeling really worried lately. A while back, while I was on vacation, I noticed some swelling under my left eye one night. I used exocin, and the swelling got better, but I started losing hair, and it's not stopping even after a month. I also got the same eye infection in the same eye again. What could be causing this hair loss and recurring infection? Is there something more serious going on? I'm really scared and would appreciate any advice.

Question

I've been dealing with these fungal rashes on my buttocks that seem to flare up and disappear on their own. Right now, they're really red and painful. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?
