I'm really concerned about using Diprovate. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? How severe can they be? Also, is there a chance it could cause pimples or any kind of skin damage?

I'm dealing with some irritation near my genital area, and it's been itching for the past 3 to 4 days. There's also a mild white spot. I'm wondering if it's okay to use kitoford cream for this. What should I do?

I'm really worried about my hair. For the past three years, the temples on my scalp have been losing hair really fast, and even the front center part seems to be thinning out more every day. It's frustrating because, on top of that, my hair is also turning white and falling out. Ive tried using minoxidil 5% solution and even took amla ras, but nothing seems to be working. What should I do next to save my hair?

I'm having a really tough time with hair fall lately, and after checking in with a dermatologist, they suggested I take Triboost tablets. The problem is, I can't seem to find these tablets in any medical store around Bangalore. Could you recommend an alternative that's more easily available? I'm kind of worried and would really appreciate your advice.
