I'm having this intense itching all over my body, but it's especially rough on the top and bottom of my foot. I've tried taking levocet, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. What should I do?

Ive been dealing with a pretty bad dandruff issue, but its not just in my hairit's really stuck on my skin. Every time I shampoo, it seems to disappear, but once my hair dries, it comes back and I have to scratch it off. Sometimes it even leaves behind a liquid, and on occasion, theres a little bleeding. Im noticing this not just on my scalp, but also on my chest, eyebrows, and beard. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What can I do to treat this?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm noticing that the skin on my face is unevenly toned. The area from my forehead to my nose is fair, but everything below my nose is darker. What could be causing this, and is there a treatment that can help even out my skin tone?

This condition is known as hyperpigmentation, where certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, leading to darker patches. To treat this, you can use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the dark areas once daily, preferably at night. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
