I'm trying to manage my dandruff situation and heard about using diprovate plus lotion on the scalp. I'm just wondering, can I actually apply it directly to my hair like I would with regular hair oil? Is there anything else I should know while using it?

Diprovate Plus lotion is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including dandruff. To apply it to the scalp for dandruff, you should part your hair and apply a small amount of the lotion directly onto the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips. It is important to avoid applying it to the hair shafts like regular hair oil, as it is specifically meant for the scalp. Use it as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.

View allI'm really worried because my face and neck are a lot darker than the rest of my body. I've also got these dark spots on my face, especially on both sides of my forehead, which are even darker. I recently started using a sunscreen with SPF 50, but it hasn't made any difference. I used to play outside in the sun a lot around 4 years ago, and I wonder if that's what's causing this. What can I do to fix this? I'm really looking for some advice on how to lighten these areas and get rid of the dark spots.

I've noticed that some parts of my head grow hair really slowly while other areas seem fine. It's a bit strange because the hair seems to be growing at different rates, and Ive experienced a lot of hair fall over the past year. I'm also seeing less hair at the front. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I could do about it?

I'm struggling with these really itchy rashes on my trunk and hands. I initially tried taking fexodine 180 mg twice a day but didn't see any improvement. Then, I switched to prednisolone 20 combined with cetirizine, but it's been five days and there's still no relief. Is there anything else I should try or any advice you could give? I'm getting pretty worried about this situation.
