I'm really struggling with dandruff and I've even started getting small wounds on my scalp. I actually saw a dermatologist about a year ago, and they told me to use this lotion at night I can't remember the name and wash my hair with Kenz Sal shampoo. It helped for a bit but now the problem is back. What should I do about this issue?

I've had this lump on my forehead for a couple of months now, and I think it might need a little incision to get rid of it. Should I be seeing a dermatologist for this, or would a general physician be better? I'm not really sure who to go to, and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

-It's best to consult a dermatologist for the lump on your forehead, as they specialize in skin-related issues and can determine if it requires removal. If needed, they can guide you on the next steps for treatment.

I'm sorry for asking, but I'm really worried. My baby girl seems much darker than me and my husband, and it's been bothering us. We both have fair skin, but she's five months old now, and her complexion seems to be getting darker. We've tried several oils, but nothing seems to work. Can you suggest anything to help improve her skin color?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I'm a bit confused about how to use Salytar solution for my dandruff. Should I dampen my hair before applying it, or is it fine to just put it straight on dry hair? And after I apply it, do I need to wash my hair with shampoo or will rinsing with water be enough?

apply it on damp hair and wash it off with water and follow your doctors advice
