I'm a bit confused about how to use the propysalic nf lotion that was prescribed for my scalp condition. Should I be applying it just to my scalp, or is it okay to get some on my hair too? I'm not sure since I have medium length hair and don't want to do it wrong. Could you clarify how I should be applying it?

Propysalic NF lotion is a topical treatment for scalp conditions like psoriasis, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis.
Application Instructions
- Wash your hair: Before applying the lotion, wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
- Towel-dry: Gently towel-dry your hair, making sure it's not soaking wet.
- Apply to scalp: Use the lotion only on your scalp, avoiding the hair shafts as much as possible.
- Massage gently: Massage the lotion into your scalp using your fingertips.
- Leave it on: Leave the lotion on for the recommended time, usually 30 minutes to an hour, before rinsing.
Tips for Medium-Length Hair
- Section your hair: Divide your hair into sections to make it easier to apply the lotion to your scalp.
- Use a scalp massager: A scalp massager can help you apply the lotion more evenly and massage it into your scalp.
- Avoid over-applying: Be careful not to apply too much lotion, as this can weigh your hair down and make it greasy.

I've been using Skinlite for a couple of days now, and I'm really worried because the skin around my black spots has gotten worse. It's turned red and then turned black. What can I do to get my skin back to normal?
You can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1 week to reduce inflammation. Additionally, use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
