I'm using permethrin cream for scabies and I've already applied it once over my body. Should I put it on again soon, or is it better to wait a few days before reapplying? Should it be applied continuously or is there a certain timeline to follow? I'm just not sure how often I should be using it.

I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with three stitches on the back of my head. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Soframycin on them. What do you think? Should I be careful about anything while applying it?

Thrombophobe cream for local application, for 7 days.

I'm 26 years old and I've been dealing with Alopecia Areata. My dad's bald and I'm starting to see the bald areas emerging too, especially on the crown of my head. My hair seems to be falling out in a pattern more and more these days. Is there anything that could help me avoid going completely bald, at least for the next five years?

I recommend you start using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down the progression of balding and maintain your hair for at least 5 years.

I'm using acne UV gel in the morning and the Beneria Expert Skin Brightening gel before bed. I've been dealing with pimples and I'm considering adding Deriva CMS gel to my routine. I'm also thinking of using a moisturizer in the morning. Could you let me know the best time and way to use all these products together? I'm just not sure how to fit everything in!

Based on your current skincare routine, you can incorporate Deriva CMS gel ointment for your pimples. You can apply a thin layer of Deriva CMS gel ointment on the affected areas in the evening, after cleansing your face. Make sure to avoid the eye area and any broken skin. In the morning, after using your acne UV gel, you can apply a moisturizer suitable for acne-prone skin. This will help keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Remember to always patch test new products before applying them to your entire face to check for any adverse reactions
