I'm eating a lot of non-veg food every day, and I'm noticing my body feels hotter because of it. It's leading to pimples popping up on my chest and shoulders. Do you have any advice on how to change my diet to cool down my body? Are there any medications that could help clear these pimples up more quickly?

You may have to consult a Dermatologist to rule out other causes of pimples on your thorax. Medication such as antibiotics combined with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may be required in your condition. You can try to reduce heat in your body by incorporating cooling foods in your diet such as cucumber, watermelon, coconut water, and leafy greens. Additionally, avoid spicy and oily foods that can further increase body heat.

I've been experiencing this really annoying itch on my scalp, especially at the back, whenever I apply any type of hair oil. I've tried different ones like almond and mustard oil, but nothing seems to help. I actually went to a dermatologist who said my scalp looks fine and advised me to stop using hair oil altogether. But I'm still curious why this itch happens only with oils. Is there something else I should be doing or trying?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been dealing with a lot of acne and now have these stubborn nail and acne marks on my face. I'm also still getting some acne. What can I do to get rid of these marks and improve my skin?

To help with acne marks and prevent new acne breakouts, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel in the evening to help with acne and improve skin texture. In the morning, you can apply a Vitamin C serum to help with skin brightening and collagen production. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow a consistent skincare routine and be patient as it may take some time to see results.

I'm currently taking HCQS 200 twice a day for my skin issues, and I used to drink a lot before starting this medication. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have one drink a day or a glass of wine with dinner now. I'd really appreciate your advice.
