I'm struggling with psoriasis that's been with me for 5 years now. I've been using Betasalic, but I'm wondering if there's a better treatment option out there. Can you suggest the best medicines for my condition? I'm really keen to find something that works.

I've been losing a lot of hair for about a month now, and it's really worrying me. I've tried all sorts of home remedies but nothing seems to help. I don't have dandruff, but my hair is very thin, and while I usually experience some hair fall, this time it's just too much. What should I do?

Treatments* 1. *Minoxidil (Rogaine)*: A topical solution that stimulates hair growth and slows down hair loss. 2. *Finasteride alternatives*: As a female, you may be prescribed spironolactone or flutamide, which can help slow down hair loss. 3. *Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)*: A non-invasive treatment that stimulates hair growth. 4. *Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy*: Injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Reduce stress*: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 2. *Improve diet*: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those promoting hair growth like biotin, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. 3. *Use gentle hair care products*: Switch to gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. 4. *Avoid excessive heat styling*: Reduce heat styling tools or use a heat protectant spray to minimize damage. Self-Care* 1. *Avoid shaving*: Refrain from shaving the affected area until you've consulted a doctor. 2. *Keep the area clean*: Gently wash the area with mild soap and warm water. 3. *Avoid picking or scratching*: Resist the urge to pick or scratch the affected area, as this can lead to further irritation and scarring.

I've been dealing with some pretty bad acne, and it got worse when I accidentally rubbed it too hard, turning into an infected pus. My doctor suggested I use T bact for it, but I'm really worried about the scars it might leave behind. What can I do to help with the scarring?
