I'm dealing with this issue after having my baby, and it's been 45 days since she was born. Is there a way to treat this? It's becoming really itchy, and I've noticed patches developing on my daughter's skin as well. I'm worried if it's something that can spread. What steps should I take to handle this?

I've got these three rash spots near my genitals, like right on my thigh. They're ring-shaped, different sizes, and super itchy. I'm worried they might not just be a skin irritation. Could it be something like a fungal infection or something else I need to get checked out? What do you think?

I had a hair transplant done a while ago but now the areas of my scalp that were fine before are starting to thin out. What non-surgical options do I have to address this new hair loss? I'm worried it might keep spreading.

If areas of your scalp that were previously healthy are now thinning after a hair transplant, there are several non-surgical options to address this. These include hair growth medications like minoxidil or finasteride, laser therapy, nutritional supplements, and addressing any underlying scalp conditions. You could also consider a second hair transplant or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.

I've been using betnovate n cream for the past 6 years, but I stopped about 15 days ago. Now my face is really red and itchy, with dry skin and tiny blisters. I've tried using Cetaphil lotion and cleanser, which helped with the redness and dryness, but the blisters and itchiness won't go away. Can you please help me figure out what to do?
