I'm dealing with pimples that won't go away, and they're causing this reddish sensation and a bit of burning. I've heard about using RetinoA Tretinoin Cream for this, but I'm not sure if it's really good for these recurring pimples. Is it effective, or could it make the redness and burning worse? What should I expect if I start using it?

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.

I've been taking cetcipl tabs for my skin allergies, but I've missed it three times. They said it needs to be taken continuously for 30 days. What should I do now?

Since you have missed a few doses, try to continue taking the medication as prescribed for the remaining days. Take one tablet of cetcip-l (cetirizine) daily for the next 27 days to complete the 30-day course. Remember to take it at the same time each day for best results.
