I'm in Delhi and dealing with a lot of hairfall. I'm pretty sure it's the water here because there's a lot of salt in it, and it just builds up on my scalp like dandruff. I've tried different oils and shampoos, but nothing seems to be working. I've been oiling my hair regularly, but it's not making any difference. Any advice on what I can do?

I've been dealing with acne for the past couple of years and it's been really frustrating. I've been using involym tablets and some creams, but I still have all these red pimples and scars. It's like nothing's really working. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should maybe try next?

So I totally forgot to keep my Daktacort cream in the fridge like it says I should, and it's been sitting out for about two months. I'm planning to use it now and remembered about the fridge thing. Is it still going to work, or did I mess it up by not refrigerating it right away?

I've been dealing with some really frustrating skin issues. There are these rashes and stretch marks around my groin area, and the itching is just unbearable at times. I tried using Cosvate GM for a bit, but after I read some stuff about it, I stopped. Now I'm using an antifungal powder, but it doesn't seem to work for long, and it feels like its not a permanent fix. What do you suggest I do about this?
