How exactly should I use this Salactin paint for my warts? Do I need to soak them in water first, or should I just apply it directly on them? I'm a bit unsure about the proper way.

View allI've been using Betnovate cream for about three years to help with pimples and ended up liking the way it lightened my skin tone. But every time I try to stop, by the second day my face gets itchy, breaks out, and the skin tone starts looking dull. I saw some advice online about gradually reducing how much and how often I use the cream, but I'm worried. What's the best way to safely stop using it? Is there anything else I can do to control the pimples and get my skin tone back to normal without itching?
It is important to gradually taper off the use of Betnovate cream to minimize withdrawal effects. You can start by reducing the frequency of application. For example, if you were using it twice a day, you can switch to once a day for a week, then every other day for another week, and so on. Additionally, you can consider using a milder steroid cream like hydrocortisone during the tapering process to help with any rebound effects. It is also important to focus on a good skincare routine to help maintain skin health during this transition period. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance on discontinuing the use of Betnovate cream.

I've been dealing with some itching and dry cuts behind my ears. It's really weird because they seem to appear and disappear after a few days, but when they're there, they're super painful. Any idea what could be causing this or how I can make it stop?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
