I've noticed that ever since I donated blood for the first time a few days ago, my hair has been falling out more than usual. Is there a connection between donating blood and experiencing increased hair fall? Should I be concerned about this change?

Question

I've been using this salicylic acid face wash called Speelac, as my doctor suggested, but after just two days of using it twice daily, my skin's feeling super dry and hurts a lot. It's like I can feel my skin burning when I put on any ointments. Is this something normal or should I be worried? I've also been using Acnemoist and Derivative CMS gel. Would appreciate any insights on this!

Can using Vaseline help with my Perioral Dermatitis? I think it might've started because I was using a topical steroid cream to lighten my skin. What should I do about this?
