Can I use Keto B ointment on my scalp for itching and gaps between my hair? Is it harmful or safe to use?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

I'm dealing with really bad acne on my face and shoulders, and my doctor recommended taking minoz 100mg. I'm trying to remember if he said to take it in the morning or evening but I'm drawing a blank. He mentioned once a day. Whats the best time to take it for the best results?
The recommended time to take Minoz 100mg for acne is usually in the morning, preferably with breakfast. Taking it at the same time each day can help maintain a consistent level of the medication in your body, which can improve its effectiveness. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions and take one tablet per day to see the best results.

I'm trying to figure out when it's best to use this cream and what the benefits are. I'm also wondering if it's okay to use it during the summer months. Could you give me some advice?
It would be helpful if you could provide the name of the cream you are referring to, so I can give you more specific information about its uses and benefits. Additionally, whether a cream can be used in summer depends on its ingredients and formulation. Some creams may be too heavy or occlusive for hot and humid weather, while others may be specifically designed for summer use.
