I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She's had this white spot on her nose for about a month now. Do you think it's something I should be concerned about? Could it be a skin issue or something else?

White spot on your daughter's nose could be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks. If it does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

View allI'm using the Sebamed sunscreen with SPF 50, and it seems to be working fine for me. But I'm a bit confused and worried about whether it's safe to use SPF 50 all the time, especially since I can't find the Sebamed sunscreen lotion with SPF 30. They do have a spray version with SPF 30, but I'm not sure if a spray is as effective. I've read some advice from doctors that sprays might not be as good. Can you help me figure out if I'm using the right sunscreen? I'm also using a face wash and moisturizer from the same brand.
SPF 3O is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall lately. My hair volume has noticeably decreased over the past two months. What should I do to stop this hair fall?
Hair fall can be caused by various factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or genetics. To help with your hair fall, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on your scalp. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can also help improve hair growth. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals and avoid using harsh chemicals on your hair.

My 15-day-old baby has developed a rash on her face, and I'm concerned about whether it's safe to use the Dermadew lotion there. We had a similar rash on her neck before, and our doctor recommended Dermadew, which seemed to help clear it up. Is it okay to use it on her face too? Also, I'm curious about what might be causing these rashes on her skin. Any idea what could be going on?
Yes, you can use dermadew lotion on your baby's face for the rash. The rash on your baby's skin could be due to various reasons such as irritation from clothing, heat, drooling, or a reaction to skincare products. Dermadew lotion contains ingredients like Aloe Vera, Olive Oil, and Almond Oil which help in soothing and moisturizing the skin. You can apply a thin layer of dermadew lotion on the affected areas of your baby's face after gently cleansing the skin. If the rash persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
