I'm experiencing pain in my hair roots, particularly at the front of my scalp, and I'm also noticing hair loss in that area. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or how to treat it?

View allI've stopped using mometasone furoate cream for a week now, but I'm noticing these dark circle patches appearing on my skin. What can I do to get rid of these patches and clear up my skin?
You can try using a hydroquinone cream along with a good sunscreen to help lighten the dark patches on your skin. You can try using Melalite cream (hydroquinone) in the evening and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day. Make sure to apply the cream only on the dark patches and follow up with a moisturizer. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin C serum to help brighten your skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

I've been dealing with a lot of itching and irritation, especially in my private area, and I've found that using prickly heat powder after a shower really helps. I'm wondering if it's safe to use it every day in that sensitive area or if it might cause any issues in the long run. Is this a normal practice, or should I be concerned about any side effects?
No,it is not advised .

I've been dealing with male pattern baldness and initially tried minoxidil and finasteride, which seemed to help with the hair fall for a while, but then I noticed more shedding after stopping them. My doctor recently suggested using Folica hair tincture to manage my hair loss and dandruff. However, I've heard this treatment is mainly for alopecia areata. Is it actually suitable for MPB, and should I be concerned about any potential side effects?
-Folica hair tincture is typically used for alopecia areata, but it can also help with general hair loss and dandruff in some cases. It's generally safe, but you should monitor for any irritation or side effects. Always follow your doctor's advice and rep
