I'm really concerned about my oral lichen planus. I've been taking curcumin for a year now, but it seems like the condition has worsened. Are there any home remedies or alternative treatments that could help manage it?

View allI've been using this Demelan cream that my dermatologist suggested, but I'm experiencing some itching and a bit of redness where I applied it. It's only been two days. Should I take a break and then continue, or just stop using it altogether?
It seems like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the demelan cream. It is advisable to discontinue the cream and consult your dermatologist for an alternative treatment. In the meantime, you can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day to help with the itching and redness.

I'm thinking about stopping my use of Melacare. Can you suggest another cream that can help change my skin tone and make it look fairer? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative.
If someone stops using Melacare cream, they can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate. One such cream is called "Skinlite Cream." It should be used once daily at night for a limited duration under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

I'm really worried because for the past three months, I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss, with hair even coming out from the root. I decided to switch to using castor oil, almond oil, and Dove shampoo to see if it helps. Do you think this is a good approach or is there something else I should be considering?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
