I'm washing my hair every morning, but by the end of the day, if I scratch my scalp, there's a foul smell. This is really bothering me, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be something with my hair care routine, or do I need to see someone about this? Would love some guidance on what might be going on.

Question

Hey doc, a few days ago, I was trying to get rid of some color on my forehead by rubbing it with a cloth, and now I've ended up with a small wound. It's healed, but there's this little black mark left behind. Any advice on how to get rid of this mark on my forehead?

Question

I'm really struggling with an acne problem that I've been dealing with for what feels like forever, maybe 6 or 7 years. It's super frustrating because just when I think it's gone, it comes back again. Right now, my doctor has me on tretiva 30 mg, and it seems to be helping a lot. But I'm worried about whether there are any negative effects of taking tretiva. Can you give me some insight into what I should watch out for?

Question

I've noticed some hair loss behind my ears and it's been really bothering me. I'm wondering, is it even possible for that hair to grow back? Also, if there are any effective treatments or medications you'd recommend for this, I'd love to hear about them.
