Question 1

I've been dealing with this pimple on my face and decided to try betamethasone ointment on it. After I washed my face, I noticed that the area where I applied it looked lighter. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or if I should be concerned. Could this be a side effect or does it mean the ointment is working?

Accepted Answer

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

Question 2

I've been dealing with heavy hairfall and dandruff for years. My dermatologist suggested Folica hair tincture, but ever since I started using it, my hairs been falling out way more. My tests say I dont have any nutritional deficiencies. Should I stop using this stuff, or is this kind of hair loss normal?

Accepted Answer

- It's common to experience initial hair shedding when starting treatments like Folica, but if the hair loss continues or worsens, it's best to stop using it and consult your dermatologist. They may need to adjust your treatment plan.

Question 3

I'm a 22-year-old woman dealing with acanthosis nigricans and excess weight. I know losing weight will help fade the pigmentation, but I have important events coming up in a month and need a faster solution. Are there any effective bleaching creams, gels, or laser treatments that could quickly reduce the dark patches? It's really affecting my confidence.

Accepted Answer

For a quicker solution to acanthosis nigricans (AN) within a month, consider a combination of topical treatments and cosmetic procedures, along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Topical creams containing ingredients like retinoids, hydroquinone, or salicylic acid can help lighten the skin and improve texture. Chemical peels or laser therapy can also be used to improve the appearance of the dark patches. However, remember that weight loss and managing underlying causes are crucial for long-term improvement

I'm trying to figure out how to use onabet sd solution on my hair. Should I put it directly on my scalp or mix it with water first? And after applying it, how long should I wait before washing my hair? I'm a bit confused about the right steps and timing for this treatment.
