I'm dealing with a burn from hot water and I'm not sure who I should see for this - a physician or a dermatologist. I've attached a picture of the burn for reference. Also, I'm currently using Silverex Ionic ointment. Any advice on what to do next?

I've been using Betnovate cream for about three years to help with pimples and ended up liking the way it lightened my skin tone. But every time I try to stop, by the second day my face gets itchy, breaks out, and the skin tone starts looking dull. I saw some advice online about gradually reducing how much and how often I use the cream, but I'm worried. What's the best way to safely stop using it? Is there anything else I can do to control the pimples and get my skin tone back to normal without itching?

It is important to gradually taper off the use of Betnovate cream to minimize withdrawal effects. You can start by reducing the frequency of application. For example, if you were using it twice a day, you can switch to once a day for a week, then every other day for another week, and so on. Additionally, you can consider using a milder steroid cream like hydrocortisone during the tapering process to help with any rebound effects. It is also important to focus on a good skincare routine to help maintain skin health during this transition period. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance on discontinuing the use of Betnovate cream.

I've been dealing with this white flake issue on my scalp and after consulting a doctor, he recommended using Noskurf overnight lotion and Diprovate Plus lotion after my bath on dry hair. I'm curious to know if these lotions are only effective for the flakes or will they also help with hair loss? I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure I'm on the right track here.

Venusia cream is advised for 2-4 weeks for local application ,once daily.If any side-effects like itching,burning,or allergic reactions kindly consult dermatologist.
