I'm really worried about my hair. For the past three years, the temples on my scalp have been losing hair really fast, and even the front center part seems to be thinning out more every day. It's frustrating because, on top of that, my hair is also turning white and falling out. Ive tried using minoxidil 5% solution and even took amla ras, but nothing seems to be working. What should I do next to save my hair?

I've been dealing with some really frustrating skin issues. There are these rashes and stretch marks around my groin area, and the itching is just unbearable at times. I tried using Cosvate GM for a bit, but after I read some stuff about it, I stopped. Now I'm using an antifungal powder, but it doesn't seem to work for long, and it feels like its not a permanent fix. What do you suggest I do about this?

How should I apply CANDID TV SUSPENSION for these small white patches on my face? The dermatologist said it's tinea versicolor. I'm a bit concerned about using it on facial skin. Is there anything specific I need to do or watch out for?

To use Candid TV Suspension for tinea versicolor on the face, apply a thin layer to the affected area, gently massaging it in, twice a day for 2-4 weeks, while avoiding eye contact and taking sun protection measures, and follow up with your dermatologist to monitor progress.

I'm a 25-year-old woman dealing with sunburns, and I was prescribed kojivit cream, but it's causing some skin irritation. Could you recommend any other options for treating sunburns?

For sunburns, you can try using aloe vera gel which has soothing properties and can help with skin irritation. You can apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel on the affected area multiple times a day to help with sunburn relief.
