I'm really worried because I've been using MELAMET cream for a long time, but now I'm seeing some side effects on my face. I tried to stop using it, but after about 56 days, my skin got really dark and dry. I want to stop using this cream without it affecting my skin badly, but I'm not sure how to do it. Can you please help me figure out what to do?

It's important to discontinue the use of Melamet cream if you are experiencing side effects such as skin darkening and dryness. To help your skin recover, you can switch to a milder and safer alternative like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for cleansing and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for hydration. Additionally, you can use a sunscreen like Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 50 to protect your skin from further damage. Remember to apply the moisturizer at least twice a day and the sunscreen every morning before going out.

View allI'm really worried about my hair loss over the past few months. I've been losing a lot, like 200-250 strands a day, and it's freaking me out. My scalp is painful when I touch it and feels warm too. I've had issues with Seb derm in the past, but medication helped then. Now, I'm also dealing with a Vitamin D deficiency and started supplements last month. Im using a mild shampoo and washing my hair every other day, but nothing seems to help. I know I need to look into a full treatment plan, but I'm not sure where to start. Can you guide me?

I'm 23 years old and a couple of years ago, I used minoxidil 5%. It worked after about four months and my hair started growing, but then I began losing hair again after two more months, so I stopped using it. Now, I'm thinking about starting it up again after two years. If I do, will everything be okay this time?
It's okay to try minoxidil again after two years, but be prepared for shedding initially, as it can happen when restarting. Continue using it consistently for at least 4-6 months to see results. If you notice any irritation or side effects, consult with a dermatologist. Remember, minoxidil works best with long-term use.

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?
