I've been dealing with confluent reticulated papillomatosis for about a year now, and the dermatologist I saw gave me a steroid cream. It works for a bit, but then the condition just comes back. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm really anxious about going out because of it. Is there any permanent treatment for this condition?

I recently lost my prescription for hhomega and mx 10 topical solution that I use for hair loss. I'm not sure how often I should apply them each day and whether it's better to use them before or after meals. Can you help clarify this for me? I'm a bit worried about getting it wrong.

To use Homega and MX 10% topical solution for hair loss, you can follow these instructions: Homega: Apply Homega topical solution on the affected area of the scalp twice a day, in the morning and evening. It is recommended to apply it on dry scalp. MX 10% topical solution: Apply MX 10% topical solution on the affected area of the scalp once a day, preferably in the evening. It is also recommended to apply it on dry scalp. Both medications can be applied either before or after meals, as it does not have any specific requirement for food intake. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the solutions to avoid any unwanted contact with other areas of the body.

I've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?

That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion
