I've been struggling with psoriasis for a while now, and I'm really hoping there's a permanent solution out there. I'm curious if there's any treatment that can completely cure it. It's been tough dealing with the flare-ups, and I'm looking for any advice or options that could help.

Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've noticed this small, squishy lump near my vagina close to the anus. It just appeared a few days ago, and the itchiness is pretty intense but kind of random. Should I be concerned about this? What could it be?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised.

I've been dealing with hair loss and went to see a dermatologist who prescribed some medications. I've been using two lotions - URTO and Racine - along with biotin and vitamin tablets for about 12 days now. However, instead of getting better, my hair loss seems to have tripled. Is it possible these medications aren't working for me, or is increased hair loss a normal part of the treatment process?

Increased hair loss in the first few weeks of treatment can be normal, especially with medications like minoxidil. It's part of the transition as your hair follicles shift into a new growth phase. Stick with the treatment for a couple of months, but if you feel uncomfortable or the shedding doesnt stop, definitely reach out to your dermatologist.
