Question

I've been having a really hard time sleeping at night because of this super itchy problem. It's getting worse when I scratch, and now it seems to be spreading. Could you recommend a good medicine that might help cure it? I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance.

I can recommend you to take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25mg before bedtime to help with your itchy problem and improve your sleep. Additionally, you can apply hydrocortisone cream on the itchy areas to reduce the itching and prevent further spreading.

Question

I've been dealing with acne and pimple breakouts for the past 5 years, and thankfully they have finally stopped. But now I'm left with a face full of scars, acne marks, and discoloration. What can I do to even out my skin tone and maybe reduce these marks and scars?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?

Question

I'm using Folliserum for my hair fall since I was 56, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. I read somewhere that it might take up to 3-6 months to see results. Should I be more patient, or is it time to switch to a different serum? What do you suggest?
