Warts are caused by a viral infection in the skin. For treating warts, you can use over-the-counter medications containing Salicylic Acid, such as Compound W or Dr. Scholl's Clear Away. Apply the medication directly to the wart daily. Additionally, you can try cryotherapy with products like Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Wart Remover. If the warts do not improve with over-the-counter treatments, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Question

I'm dealing with a situation here where I've been using adaferin gel for an hour every night and rejuglow face wash after getting advice from my doctor for my acne. But now, after a week, my acne's really flared up, and my skin's super dry, with itchy patches around my nose, mouth, and eyes. It's so dry, and even when I try to put on a moisturizer or use rose water, it burns. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something else I should try?

Question

I'm really confused about why my doctor prescribed desonide for my hair loss and dandruff issues. Can it actually help with hair regrowth, or is it just for treating the dandruff? I'm worried because I didn't expect this kind of treatment for hair problems. Could you help me understand how desonide fits into this?
