I'm dealing with a 2nd degree burn on my leg from touching a two-wheeler silencer. It's been 10 days and I'm still experiencing pain and irritation. I showed it to a skin doctor but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help it heal faster. Any advice?

View allI'm really struggling with alopecia, and it feels like its taken over my life and happiness. It all began when I was in 6th grade, and within a year, the hair loss spread all over my body. Because of this, I haven't been able to go out or even attend school. What should I do? Can you offer any advice?

I'm a bit concerned about the prescription my dermatologist gave. She's put me on Aprezo 30 mg to be taken every night for 10 days, and then she wants me to up it to 12 tablets for the next 20 days. Is this medication safe to take like that? Just want to make sure it's okay for me.
Aprezo 30mg is a medication containing Apremilast, which is used to treat certain types of skin conditions such as psoriasis. The dosage regimen prescribed by your dermatologist is commonly used to gradually introduce the medication to your system and minimize potential side effects. Starting with 14 tablet daily at night for 10 days and then increasing to 12 tablet for the next 20 days is a safe and effective way to titrate the dose of Aprezo. This regimen helps your body adjust to the medication and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

I've been prescribed actame c face wash, but I can't seem to find it at any nearby pharmacies. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative? I'm really keen to know what would work similarly, as I'm unsure what to use instead.
As an alternative to Actame C face wash, consider using a face wash containing salicylic acid (around 0.5-2%) and aloe vera or tea tree oil, such as Cetaphil Salicylic Acid Face Wash, Neutrogena Salicylic Acid Acne Wash, or Himalaya Neem Face Wash, which can help with acne, inflammation, and skin soothing.
