I'm really concerned because I have dandruff and some rashes on my scalp, and my doctor suggested using Kz lotion and CandidB lotion. But I forgot to ask how exactly I should be using both of these together. Could you guide me on how to apply them properly? Should they be used at different times, or can I mix them? I'm a bit unsure and want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Use KZ lotion on your scalpapply it, leave it for 3-5 minutes, and then rinse off. For Candid-B, apply a thin layer only on the rash-affected areas of your scalp, twice daily, unless told otherwise. Keep both away from your eyes, and if irritation happens, let your doctor know.

Ive been dealing with this issue where the skin around my nose and chin is darker than the rest of my face. I even spoke to a dermatologist about it and tried the medicines and skin peeling methods they recommended, but they only seem to work as long as I keep using them. As soon as I stop, the darkness comes back. The rest of my face is much fairer in comparison. How can I get rid of this problem permanently?

While products like niacinamide and vitamin C can be effective, they require consistent use over several months to show noticeable results. Avoid harsh or bleaching agents that promise quick results, as they can cause further irritation and damage.

Can I use triamcinolone acetonide cream for bed bug bites to help with the itch, or is there something else that might work better? I've been dealing with some really irritating bites and I'm not sure what the best treatment is.

I've been dealing with really itchy skin on my leg for about a year now, and it's led to these black patches forming. On top of that, I've started having some breathing problems and I'm worried it might be an allergy reaction to cold. Could these symptoms be related, and should I be concerned about the patches and breathing issues?

Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions
