I'm using minoxidil and some tablets for my hair loss, and I'm wondering if you could recommend some mild shampoos I should use along with them. I'm looking for something affordable, maybe around 150 to 200 rupees. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm currently on Doxol LB and Vitakind Zit for acne and I'm also using Femcinol A gel overnight and in the morning for 2 hours, plus Benzac AC 2.5 for another 2 hours. A dermatologist prescribed all of this, but is it okay to be using all these treatments together like this?

Yes,Continue same treatment.

I'm having issues with my tongue the skin is peeling, it's really painful, and I can't eat anything. Could you recommend any medicine for this? Do you think those Vitamin C chewable tablets would be helpful?

Could be due to a condition called oral mucositis. Vitamin C chewable tablets may not directly help with this issue. I recommend using a topical oral gel containing a local anesthetic like lidocaine to help with the pain and a mouthwash containing a mild antiseptic like chlorhexidine gluconate to prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if Tivenca gel can be used instead of Papulex for my face, and if it's safe to leave on overnight. Could you let me know if that's okay?

Tivenca gel is not a direct replacement for Papulex for the face. Papulex is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains ingredients like nicotinamide and zinc PCA to help control excess oil production and reduce inflammation. Tivenca gel, on the other hand, is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your skin condition. For acne treatment, you can consider using Papulex gel on the affected areas of the face in the evening before bedtime. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of the gel and leave it on overnight for best results.
