I'm looking for an alternative to Melacare cream that's just as effective. Can you suggest something?

View allCan dandruff cause hair fall?
Dandruff itself does not cause hair loss. However, severe dandruff can cause a person to scratch their scalp so hard that they injure it.

I'm really worried about why my skin stays dirty even after washing it well. It's like I have to almost scrape with something sharp just to get the dirt off. After a bath, it seems to get dirty super fast again. I've even tried washing my face around 45 times a day, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It's strange because even just after washing, if I rub my hands on my face, I still end up with some dust. What could be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin. This could be due to a variety of factors such as excessive oil production, environmental factors, or improper skincare routine. I recommend using a gentle exfoliating cleanser to help remove the dead skin cells and dirt more effectively. You can try using a face wash containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, twice a day. Additionally, using a gentle scrub, such as St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub, 2-3 times a week can also help improve the texture of your skin. Make sure to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent it from becoming too dry. If the issue persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've had a red fluid-filled cyst on my scalp for 7 years with no pain should I be worried about it and does it need surgery will they have to shave my hair for the procedure I'm really concerned
A red, fluid-filled cyst on the scalp that has been present for 7 years and is painless is likely a benign pilar cyst. While most cysts don't require treatment, it's still best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and to discuss if removal is recommended. Surgery is a common treatment for these cysts, but it doesn't always require shaving the hair
