I'm genuinely concerned about the heat in my body and how it's affecting my health. I've been getting ulcers in my mouth or on my tongue almost every month. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm starting to wonder what's causing them. Is the heat in my body connected to these frequent ulcers? How can I reduce this heat or prevent them from happening so often? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

To decrease body heat, try: staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, taking cool showers or baths, practicing relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, and avoiding spicy or heavy foods; regarding ulcers, the main reasons include: stress, hormonal changes, vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron), acidic or spicy foods, and underlying conditions like gastrointestinal issues or autoimmune disorders; to prevent monthly ulcers, consider keeping a food diary to track triggers, practicing good oral hygiene, and consulting your doctor or dentist for personalized advice.

View allI've been dealing with scalp folliculitis for a while now. My dermatologist said it's from a bacterial infection that can spread from the nose to the scalp. These bumps are oval and white. When I'm on medication and use cream, the folliculitis goes away after about a week. But as soon as I stop taking them, the bumps come back all over my scalp. Is there anything I can do to manage this without relying on medication all the time? I'm worried about becoming dependent on it. Any alternative remedies or methods I could try?
Sounds like you are experiencing recurrent scalp folliculitis despite completing a course of medication. In cases of persistent or recurrent folliculitis, your dermatologist may consider prescribing oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline along with a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin 2%. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to fully eradicate the bacterial infection. Wash your hair regularly with a gentle shampoo to keep the scalp clean. Avoid using oily hair products or hair styling products that can clog the hair follicles. Use a clean towel and avoid sharing combs or hair accessories to prevent the spread of bacteria. Avoid picking or scratching the bumps to prevent further irritation and infection. If the folliculitis continues to recur despite these measures, it is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some itching and dry cuts behind my ears. It's really weird because they seem to appear and disappear after a few days, but when they're there, they're super painful. Any idea what could be causing this or how I can make it stop?
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'm wondering if Dermadew Lite soap is alright for everyone to use. I've been thinking about using it regularly, but I don't have any skin issues. Are there any potential side effects I should be aware of?
