I'm really worried because I've been using Betnovate N on my face for the past 7-8 years, and now that I know about the side effects, I want to stop but keep facing immediate reactions when I try to. What can I do to safely discontinue using it without experiencing those side effects?

To safely stop using Betnovate N after 7-8 years, consult a dermatologist for a gradual tapering plan, and consider using alternative topical creams or oral medications to manage withdrawal symptoms like itching, redness, and dryness.

I'm dealing with these blood blisters on my scrotum that I think might be angiokeratomas. They get a bit painful and irritating when I touch them. I'm really hoping to handle this on my own at home, maybe with a cream or something, because I'd rather not involve anyone else. Is RF ablation the only way to get rid of these, or do you have any advice on what else I might try?

I've been dealing with this hair issue for about two to three months now and I'm taking biotin tablets and using Zycafy M daily. I've been wondering if adding minoxidil would help with hair regrowth. Do you think it would be beneficial to start using it, or should I continue with the current routine? I'm really looking for some advice on the best next steps.

yes you can use minoxidil as an addon but use it as advised by your doctor because there are various concentrations of minoxidil which is decided over severity of hair fall,apart from this consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair.
