I'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable redness around my buttock area, and it's been causing quite a bit of itching and pain, especially when I sit down or if there's any rubbing. I've been using this candidb cream for about 20 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. What else can I do to get some relief or maybe even get rid of this issue? Any advice would really help.

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the buttock area. Since Candid-B cream has not been effective, I recommend trying a combination antifungal and steroid cream such as Lotriderm cream. Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help with the healing process.

View allI'm really worried about a burn scar from Dettol. Does anyone know whether it's going to be a permanent mark or will it eventually fade away? And if it does heal, how long does it normally take for new skin to develop?

I'm experiencing excessive hair fall right from the roots over the past three months, and I'm a bit concerned. I've been eating eggs, almonds (badam), and dates every day, thinking they might help. I've also been using almond oil on my hair daily, but it seems like I lose more hair after applying it. Could the oil be causing this? I don't think I have any dandruff issues. Any advice on what might be going on or what I should try?
Applying oil to the hair can sometimes lead to hair fall if not done properly or if the oil is not suitable for your scalp. Since you are already taking a healthy diet with eggs, almonds (badam), and dates, you may consider adding a biotin supplement to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can try using minoxidil solution on the scalp to help with hair regrowth. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been having some issues with acne, especially whiteheads, and I think it might be a side effect from the B12 injections I had. The injections were Nervijen Plus and had ingredients like Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, and Niacinamide. I got two shots, one on December 25th, 2017, and the other on January 1st, 2018. I'm wondering how long this acne could last? Every morning there's a new whitehead popping up. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still pretty annoying. Is there anything I can do or take to make this stop?
The acne caused by the B12 injection should subside on its own within 2-3 months, and to manage it, maintain good skincare habits, use acne treatments, avoid picking or popping whiteheads, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
