I'm dealing with really itchy skin, and nothing seems to be working. I've already tried Moxikind CV 625 and Nuforce, but I'm still struggling. Could you tell me what medicine might actually help with this?

The medications you mentioned are antibiotics, which may not be effective for treating itchiness of the skin. For itchy skin, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, applying a soothing lotion containing Calamine can also help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation.

I went to a water park about a week ago, and ever since, I've noticed my skin has gotten darker. I have to maintain lighter skin for my job. All my hands, legs, and face got a bit tanned. Will this naturally resolve over time, or is there something I should do to help my skin return to its usual shade?

I just really want to understand how much hair fall is considered normal each day. Sometimes I notice around 67 hairs falling out, and other times it's like 30 to 40. I'm also using Laxet forte tablets and applying Diprovate Plus lotion on my scalp, as my doctor advised. Should I be rubbing in the lotion or just spraying it on my scalp? And is there a chance this might help with regrowth?

Normal hair fall per day is 50-100 strands,you are using appropriate treatment you can continue that,u have to gently massage prescribed amount of lotion evenly over scalp.
