I'm 25 and I've been using Cloben G for a couple of months, but now that I've stopped, my face has turned red and it's super itchy with these rashes. I'm really not sure what to do next. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

This could be due to withdrawal effects or rebound effects from the steroid in the cream. To help with the redness and itching, you can try using a mild topical corticosteroid like hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized and avoid any harsh skincare products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking for some advice on treating pigmentation or 'jhaiya' on my face. I've tried a few creams but I'm not sure which one is the most effective. Also, I'm experiencing quite a bit of hair fall lately. Could you recommend something that might help with that too?

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .

I started feeling an itch on my testicles a couple of days ago and ended up rubbing the area quite a bit. Now there's a wound from the rubbing and it's pretty painful, especially when I move. What should I do about this? Is it something to be worried about or will it heal by itself?

I'm noticing that my lower lip is usually pink, or sometimes even red, but my upper lip is much darker and doesn't match the lower one at all. It's kinda annoying, and I'm wondering what might be causing this difference. Can you suggest what I could do about it?

To help lighten the color of your upper lip, you can try using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer of the cream on your upper lip once or twice a day. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF can help protect your lips from further darkening due to sun exposure.
