I'm an 18-year-old girl and I've noticed my hair is getting really thin on the crown of my head and I'm not sure why it's happening. It's really worrying me. Could my past stress and skin allergies have something to do with it since I even had scalp allergies? Or is there another reason for this hair thinning? Looking for some advice.

Hair thinning at the crown area can be due to various reasons, including stress, skin allergies, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies. In your case, since you have mentioned a history of skin allergy and scalp allergy, it is possible that these conditions have contributed to your hair thinning. To address this issue, I recommend using Minoxidil solution 2% twice daily on the affected area of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg once daily can help improve hair growth and thickness. It is also important to manage your stress levels through relaxation techniques or counseling. If the hair thinning persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

View allMy husband has this patch on his scalp, and he's been using salisia ds ointment that his dermatologist recommended. Now the area's turned red where he's been applying the cream. What could be causing that?
Redness after applying a topical ointment is not uncommon, but its essential to monitor the reaction and seek medical advice if the irritation continues or spreads. The doctor might want to adjust the treatment plan based on his skins response.

I'm dealing with a reddish rash on my cleavage and under my breast. It tends to get worse when I sweat and then becomes really dry and sometimes itchy after a shower. I noticed last time that a zinc-based medicine from my dermatologist helped a bit. It's not really bothering me otherwise, but I'm just not sure what else to do. What do you think it might be, and is there something more I should try?
That could be fungal infection ,maintain personal hygiene and you continue that ointment,if it is recurring have to take oral antifungal medicines ,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
