Is it safe to use Refollium? I'm really worried because I'm only 18 and losing a lot of hair already. Could it have any side effects?

I'm really worried about my complexion. I've noticed my skin is dull and damaged, and I'm looking for something to help brighten it up. I heard Restreta could work for whitening the face. Is it really effective, and how soon can I expect to see results? I was told it might show results in a month, but I'm curious if that's true. Would you recommend this tablet?

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for a while now, and I'm getting really frustrated. A year ago, my doctor suggested azithromycin, and it worked initially, but the condition came back after a week. I tried azithromycin again for another five days, but it didn't help at all this time. So, I saw another doctor who recommended doxycycline with vitamin C for a week. It seemed to get better, but then it flared up again just two days after I finished the meds. It's been really annoying trying these antibiotics without long-term relief. What do you think I should do next? Could there be something else going on?

Seborrheic dermatitis can be challenging to treat, especially if it keeps recurring despite multiple courses of antibiotics. Since azithromycin and doxycycline have not provided long-lasting relief for you, I recommend trying a different approach. You can ask your doctor about using ketoconazole shampoo for your scalp and affected areas. Apply it twice a week for 4 weeks. In addition, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected skin once daily for 2 weeks. This combination can help manage the symptoms and reduce the recurrence of seborrheic dermatitis.
