I'm dealing with dandruff and my friend said kz lotion might help. Can you tell me how exactly I'm supposed to use it? Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To use it, you should first wash and dry the affected area. Then, apply a thin layer of KZ lotion to the scalp and massage it gently. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight, and then wash it off. Common side effects of KZ lotion may include skin irritation, dryness, or a burning sensation. If you experience any severe side effects or allergic reactions, such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop using the lotion and seek medical help immediately.

View allI'm losing my hair a lot and it's really freaking me out. Plus, I've got this constant itching on my scalp and I have no clue what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest something for the itching and hair loss? I'm really worried.
Hair loss and itching on the scalp can be due to various reasons such as fungal infections, dandruff, or even stress. To address the itching on your head, you can use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. One popular brand is Nizoral shampoo, which you can use twice a week. For hair fall, you can try using minoxidil solution such as Rogaine. Apply 1 ml of Rogaine solution twice daily on the scalp where hair loss is occurring. Additionally, make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support hair growth

I'm dealing with chronic folliculitis and it's really frustrating. I've seen a dermatologist and tried ampicillin and cloxacillin tablets, which help while I'm on them. But as soon as I stop taking the medication, the infection just comes right back. Is there anything I can do to keep it from returning?
You did not mention what body part is getting affected repeatedly. Chronic folliculitis is a stubborn infection of hair follicle and takes longer time for cure. You may need longer course of an antibiotic after pus culture. Visit a dermatologist again for same.
