Is it okay to use dermocalm lotion for pimples? I got viral fever a couple of days ago, and now I have a lot of pimples on my back because of the heat. Could you let me know if applying dermocalm would help with this?

It's not effective towards acne but your complaint is clear stating post fever rashes for such this cream would work,if not visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been using the Keraglo Eva tablet and their shampoo for about 6 months now, hoping to see some improvement in my hair. But honestly, I haven't noticed any change. My hair fall is still pretty bad, and I'm not seeing any growth. I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I could try to help with my hair fall and encourage some healthy growth. What should I do next?

Question

I'm dealing with a ringworm issue on my skin and I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to use regular soap, like Dettol, on it. Last time I went to the doctor, I remember being told not to use soap there, but I'm not sure if they meant all soap or just some. They prescribed KZ soap before, so I'm wondering if that's the only thing I should be using or if it's okay to use other soaps. What would you recommend?

Question

I'm using Ultra Aegis sunscreen right now and I'm wondering if it's really effective. Will it help reduce the tan and protect my skin from the sun, or should I consider switching to a better sunscreen? Any suggestions would be great!
