I'm a bit confused about using halotop. Should I apply it before or after I wash my hair? And should I be putting it directly on my scalp or just on my hair? I'm not sure what's best.

You should use Halotop after washing your hair. Apply it directly on the scalp, not on the hair. Use a small amount and gently massage it into the scalp.

View allI've been dealing with a boil just below my waistline and have been using a warm compress three times a day. It popped yesterday and when I took the bandage off this morning, I noticed there's a white scab with some blood. Is it normal for the scab to be white, maybe because of moisture or something?
Yes, it is normal for the scab to appear white, especially after it has been covered with a bandage and exposed to moisture from the warm compress. The white color is due to the accumulation of pus and dead white blood cells at the site of the boil. To help with the healing process, you can continue applying warm compresses to the area and keep it clean. Additionally, you may consider using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection.

I've been prescribed Finabald 1mg once daily for my hairfall issue, but I'm a bit anxious about it because I've heard there could be side effects. I'm getting married in a few months and I really don't want to risk anything. Is there a safer alternative to Finabald that I could consider?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?
A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.
