I'm really concerned about my hair. It used to be so thick back in college, but now I've noticed my scalp is showing more on the top of my head. I don't see much hair falling out, but I have less hair and some of it's turning grey. I went to a doctor recently, and they just gave me a prescription without even checking into the problem. I'm trying to figure out what's causing my visible scalp and potential baldness. Any advice on what steps I should take?

I've been diagnosed with scalp psoriasis, and I'm seeing some dry red patches. My doctor prescribed some ointments and vitamin tablets, but I've kind of forgotten what exactly I'm supposed to do. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Momate S cream on my scalp because it's really dry and patchy. Could you offer some advice on this?

I've noticed these Fordyce spots on my upper lip for the last 2 to 3 months. They're kind of freaking me out. What can I do about them?

Fordyce spots are small, painless bumps that appear on the lips due to enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands. They're completely harmless and usually don't require treatment. However, if you're concerned, a dermatologist can recommend options for managing their appearance.
