I have a red rash all over my back and shoulders. They're super itchy and some are pretty painful. I've been trying Dermi Cool powder, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you help me out with this?

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.

Hey, I was prescribed gris odt 250mg for a fungal infection on my back. But when I went to get it, they gave me grisovin FP 250mg because they were out of stock of the original one. I'm a little worried and just want to know if it's okay to use this as a substitute? Can you help me out here?
Grisovin FP (250mg) is a suitable alternative to Gris ODT (250mg) for fungal infections since they have the same active ingredient (Griseofulvin) and similar formulation (oral tablets). Consult your doctor and monitor your response to the medication.

I'm 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant and earlier today I used a small cap full of undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on my hands. I washed them about 5 times with body soap and water to try to get rid of the smell. I'm really worried if there's any harm to my baby from using undiluted Dettol, even after washing so many times. Could there still be leftover chemicals on my hands that I might ingest, which could then reach my baby?
Using undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on your hands during pregnancy can be harmful as it contains strong chemicals that may be absorbed through the skin. Even after washing your hands multiple times with soap and water, there may still be residual chemicals left on your skin. To be on the safe side, it is important to avoid using undiluted Dettol during pregnancy. If you have any concerns about potential exposure to harmful chemicals, you can consult with your healthcare provider for further advice.
