I'm a teenager with a patchy beard and acne. My dermatologist suggested using a salicylic acid facewash, and while my acne has gotten better, I've noticed that I lose one or two beard hairs every time I use the facewash. Could salicylic acid be causing my beard hair to fall out?

View allI'm concerned about the levels of TDS in my bathing water. I've read that around 500 ppm is okay, but I'm wondering if that's true for avoiding hair fall and skin problems. Could you shed some light on this?

About a month ago, my wife suddenly noticed some tiny black dots, about 1 mm in size, appearing on her face and neck over the course of a week. They don't seem like pimples or moles, but they're completely black. This is the first time something like this has happened, and there hasn't been any change in their size or color since then. What could be causing these dots? And more importantly, what should she do to get rid of them?
These black dots could be due to a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in people with skin of color. To get rid of them, your wife can consider using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel 0.1% once daily at night. Additionally, she can also try cryotherapy treatment with liquid nitrogen by a dermatologist to remove the black dots. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment

I'm having this skin itching around my leg area and sometimes it even feels like it's burning a bit. I've tried using itch guard and tetmosol total, but it seems to be getting worse instead of better. It all started in the summer. Could there be a reason why these symptoms keep increasing even with treatment? Any advice on what might help or if I should be checking for something specific?
That could be fungal infection,visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
