I'm struggling with hair loss and was prescribed TricoMax to take one tablet daily. The thing is, the dermatologist didn't tell me for how long I should continue this treatment. Ive moved quite far from Hindu Rao hospital, where I got this prescription, so a follow-up isnt really possible. Could you advise me on how long I should keep taking TricoMax? Any guidance would be really helpful.

TricoMax, a supplement containing biotin, vitamin B, and keratin, is recommended for a minimum of 3-6 months to assess its effectiveness for hair loss, and it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance; consider consulting a new dermatologist in your current location for a follow-up and guidance on continuing or modifying the treatment.

I've been noticing these pimples popping up on my cheeks ever since I had chicken pox, and they just seem to be getting worse each day. Is this normal, and what can I do about it? Should I be concerned?

You are suffering with Acne Vulgaris this needs a course of antibiotics and vitamin A supplements,visit DERMATOLOGIST for the same and for tan removal you can try with CO2 laser treatment

I've been dealing with itchy patches around my vagina and the bend in my inner thigh for about a month now. They look like ringworms and itch really bad, but I haven't tried any medication yet. What do you think I should do?

You may have a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with a situation where my scrotum is constantly wet, and while there's no itching, it's making me pretty uncomfortable. Can you suggest what medication or treatment might help with this?

You can try using an antiperspirant specifically designed for sensitive areas like the scrotum. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily before bedtime. This can help reduce sweating and keep the area dry and comfortable.
