I'm really struggling with acne on my face. It seems to clear up for a bit when I use ointment, but the moment I stop, it just comes back. What could be causing this and how can I manage it better?

It sounds like you may be dealing with acne that is recurring when you stop using the ointment. Paknet-C is a combination medication that contains Clindamycin and Nicotinamide, which are commonly used to treat acne. I would recommend using a gentle cleanser to wash your face twice a day, and then applying a thin layer of a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel at night. Additionally, you can continue using Paknet-C as spot treatment for active acne lesions. If your acne persists, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've got a fungal infection in my genital area. I've been using Onabet cream, which has Sertaconazole Nitrate in it. I've heard that nitrogen compounds can be harmful to the skin because they can break it down. Since Onabet contains a nitrate compound, I'm worried if it's actually safe to use it in such a sensitive area. Should I keep using Onabet for my condition? I'm really in need of some advice.

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.
