I'm dealing with mild acne and have noticed that my skin tends to be pretty dry. I'm thinking about using Alograce cream at night to help with the dryness, but I'm a bit unsure if it's suitable for acne or if it will actually help moisturize my skin. Could you give me some advice on whether this is a good idea or if there's something better I should consider?

I'm living in Chennai and I'm worried about the water here since it's really salty and it seems to be affecting my hair a lot. I'm noticing that I'm losing about 50 strands every time I shower, and it's freaking me out because I didn't have this problem when I was back in my hometown. Plus, my scalp has been getting super itchy. Could you recommend a good shampoo for this situation? Also, any diet tips to help strengthen my hair would be great.

Minoxidil 5.. solution for local application is advised for 3-4 weeks, if any side-effects consult dermatologist.

What gets rid of a rash overnight?

We need to determine the cause of rash and then treat accordingly. If you get a red rash with itching , it may be mostly due to an allergy which can be relieved by applying Moisturiser, wet cloth or ice pack to the affected area. You may need to take some antihistamine medications too under doctor's supervision.
