View allI've been told to try Dermadew soap for improving my skin tone, but I'm 19 and have really sensitive skin. Is this the right choice for me, or should I consider other options?
Dermadew soap can help with hydration and mild skin brightening, but for sensitive skin, it's essential to do a patch test first to avoid irritation. Gentle products with calming ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal might suit you better. Avoid harsh soaps and focus on sunscreen, as sun protection is crucial for even skin tone and sensitivity management.

I was wondering what the difference is between scalp psoriasis and dandruff. I'm a bit worried because I'm dealing with some issues on my scalp and can't tell if it's just dandruff or something more like psoriasis. I've attached a few images hoping you could help me figure it out. Could you take a look and let me know your thoughts?
Scalp psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the scalp, while dandruff is a common condition marked by flaking of the scalp skin. To treat scalp psoriasis, you can use medicated shampoos containing coal tar, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole. In addition, topical corticosteroids or calcipotriene can be applied to the affected areas.
