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'm trying to manage my dandruff situation and heard about using diprovate plus lotion on the scalp. I'm just wondering, can I actually apply it directly to my hair like I would with regular hair oil? Is there anything else I should know while using it?
Diprovate Plus lotion is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including dandruff. To apply it to the scalp for dandruff, you should part your hair and apply a small amount of the lotion directly onto the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips. It is important to avoid applying it to the hair shafts like regular hair oil, as it is specifically meant for the scalp. Use it as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.

I've been dealing with hair loss and dandruff since 2013 and nothing seems to work. Ive tried antibiotics, tretinoin, and special shampoos, but I still have severe hair fall, with hair roots attached to these little sebum beads. It's even affecting my back and shoulders now. I don't have those dandruff scabs anymore, but my scalp gets super dry after washing and then it's oily and smells bad the next day. My vitamin D and ferritin levels are low, and even though I've taken meds for that, it hasnt helped much. My periods are lighter than they used to be, but my TSH and prolactin levels are normal, and I dont have PCOS. I also have really poor digestion and feel exhausted doing physical tasks. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a combination of issues including hair loss, dandruff, oily scalp, dry scalp, low vitamin D and ferritin levels, scanty periods, normal TSH and prolactin levels, poor digestion, and fatigue. For severe hair fall with hair roots attached with sebum beads, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or ciclopirox olamine to help with dandruff and scalp inflammation. Additionally, minoxidil solution can be used to promote hair growth. To address the oily and smelly scalp, you can use a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid to help control oil production and odor. For low vitamin D and ferritin levels, you can take vitamin D supplements and iron supplements as prescribed by your doctor to help improve these levels. To address the scanty periods, you can consider hormonal therapy or oral contraceptives to regulate your menstrual cycle. For poor digestion and fatigue, you can try incorporating probiotics into your diet, eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise to help improve your digestion and energy levels. It's important to follow up with your dermatologist and other healthcare providers for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
