I'm considering using Candid B lotion on my scalp as my doctor suggested it for dandruff, but I'm a bit worried. Can it actually lead to hair fall?

Candid B lotion, containing clotrimazole and betamethasone, can be used on the scalp for dandruff, but prolonged use or excessive application may lead to hair loss, itching, or other scalp issues, so use it as directed by your doctor and monitor your scalp's response.

I recently got over a bout of diarrhea, and it seems like the antibiotic ORNIO really helped. But now I'm experiencing itchiness all over my body, and I'm noticing these tiny bumps popping up on my skin. I've never had any allergies to medication before, but could this antibiotic be causing these symptoms? Can you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

I'm really worried about this issue I've been having for the past 4 years. It's not hereditary; I'm pretty sure it's because of my allergies, like the running nose and watery eyes. I know sticking to a healthy diet might help over time, but right now, I need something more immediate. I've heard about treatments like Chemical Peeling and Laser Treatments, but Im not sure which one would be best for me. And I've come across different creams, but dont know which ones to try. Can you help me figure this out?

You can take Montek Lc at bed time but solution would be avoiding allergen and maintain healthy lifestyle,visit Physician for evaluation and healthy lifestyle.
