I'm really worried because I used Melacare cream about three years ago, and now my skin seems to have gotten darker. I've attached a photo for reference. Can you suggest any remedies or treatments that might help with this?

I've been using Panderm cream for a while, but after learning about its side effects, I stopped. My doctor then prescribed Deriva CMS gel and another cream to treat the rashes and small pimples I got from Panderm. The rashes have improved, but I'm worried about what's next because I can't stop using the gel without risking the rashes coming back. Plus, my skin has become really dry. Can you recommend what kind of cream I should use now?

use doctor prescribed cream only

I've been dealing with constant dandruff and a really itchy scalp for quite a while now. Over the past two years, my hair's been thinning a lot. A couple of doctors mentioned it might be seborrheic dermatitis. I've got this white to yellowish grainy dandruff that sticks to my hair strands and roots. My scalp gets super oily and greasy really fast, like it's greasy the day after I wash it. There's also acne building up on my scalp, and the itchiness is through the roof. Currently, I'm using Hair4u serum daily, taking Vitamin 12, applying Noskarf lotion every other day, and shampooing regularly. I haven't been oiling my hair either. I've also tried natural remedies like apple cider vinegar and curd. But with the Hair4u 5% minoxidil, the itchiness seems to have gotten worse. I've experimented with so many things but haven't seen any improvement. Any advice on what I should do to tackle this and maybe help my hair grow back?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
