I'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. I initially thought it was just dandruff, but it has definitely gotten worse lately. I'm really not sure of the best way to treat it, and I could use some guidance on where to start. Any advice on how to handle this would be much appreciated.

I've noticed that some parts of my head grow hair really slowly while other areas seem fine. It's a bit strange because the hair seems to be growing at different rates, and Ive experienced a lot of hair fall over the past year. I'm also seeing less hair at the front. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I could do about it?

I've just had my first full body wax, and it's led to some red and itchy bumps on my stomach and back. I've only waxed my arms and legs before and didn't have this reaction. What can I use to help reduce the itchiness and redness? Would a specific cream or tablet be best?

My sister stays in a hostel, and she's caught a really bad case of head lice from the other girls there. We did some Googling and found treatment centers, but they all seem to be for kids. Can she get treated at your clinic? We're really concerned because head lice can seriously affect a person's health, and we've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing's working anymore.
