I'm really worried about this hair loss issue I've been experiencing near my ear. I tried using an anti-infection cream for around 20 days, but it didn't seem to help. I'm wondering if theres a treatment that could actually work. I've noticed some small black hairs growing in that area, but I'm not sure what that means. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help treat the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management."

View allI've been using Melacare for about 4 years now and I'm thinking of stopping. I'm a bit worried though, if I stop using it, will my skin be able to recover on its own or am I going to have to deal with hyperpigmentation forever?
Stopping Melacare may cause: 1. Rebound hyperpigmentation (temporary) 2. Skin recovery with proper skincare and sun protection 3. Ongoing hyperpigmentation management Post-Melacare skincare: 1. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) 2. Moisturize with a gentle moisturizer 3. Exfoliate regularly 4. Consider alternative treatments

I've got this dry, light brown patch under my eye, and the doctor suggested using fusidic acid and mometasone furoate cream. I'm a bit worried because my skin is really sensitive. Could this cream cause any additional problems? I've read some reviews and just want to make sure it's safe for me.
do not use that cream without doctors advice as it contains steroid,consume,vit B supplements and mineral rich foods taht would help you and also visit dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm currently on homeopathy treatment, but it's not working out for me. I tried allopathy treatment before too, but my pimples just won't go away. I'm feeling really scared and disappointed about this whole situation. What should I do? Can you help?
I understand your concern about your persistent pimples despite trying homeopathic and allopathic treatments. In such cases, you can consider using a topical retinoid cream such as Adapalene (e.g. Differin) at night. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide gel (e.g. Benzac AC) in the morning. Make sure to apply sunscreen during the day while using these products. If your pimples are severe, you may also benefit from oral antibiotics like Doxycycline. It's important to use these medications as directed by a healthcare professional and to be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.
