I recently cleaned a knee wound with Savlon, but now there's a red spot where I applied it. Could you help me understand why this happened and what I should do next?

I'm curious about Fidebona cream that my dermatologist recommended. Can you tell me what it's good for and if there are any side effects? I'd love to know more about how it helps the skin before I start using it.

I've noticed a dry patch and peeling on my left scrotum, kind of like a dandruff scalp. It got worse for a bit and then stopped. Now the skin feels a bit harder, looks lighter, and has these small boils. Any idea what could be causing this?

Consult a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis, especially since you've noticed a change in the skin texture and color. Avoid scratching or irritating the area further as it can worsen the condition. Proper hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. If it is a fungal or bacterial infection, your doctor may recommend appropriate medications.

I've been using Tugain men solution for about ten days now to deal with my hair fall, which a doctor recommended. But I've started noticing even more shedding since I began using it. I'm really confused about whether I should keep going with it or stop. Could you offer some advice on what to do?

Initially that happens but later it works in controlling hairfall.
