I've been using Melacare for a long time, but then I started traveling a lot for work between Pune and Mumbai, and my skin is now completely sunburned and darker. I used to be fair, but now my skin is almost black, and it's a lot. Can I start using Melacare again? Will that help me get my skin back to how it was before? I'm really worried about showing my face to anyone right now and could really use your advice.

I've been dealing with some issues with my scalp for the past 20 days. The flakes are yellowish, mostly around the top and back of my head. They're pretty easy to pick off but sometimes take some hair with them. When I wash my hair after picking them off, it really stings. Plus, I've noticed my scalp is getting oilier and my hair keeps falling out more than usual. What's going on, and what should I do?
I recommend using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole 2% to help with the flakes and scalp irritation. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, you can use a coal tar shampoo to help with the scaling and itching. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. In case of increased oil secretion, you can use a shampoo containing salicylic acid to help control the oiliness. If the condition persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
