I've been dealing with a corn on my left foot that needed surgery, and though the skin healed, it left a hard spot. I've had another corn since, which cleared up with a corn cap, but now there's some pain where the surgery was. Should I try using a corn cap again?

It sounds like the hard skin on your foot may be due to the formation of another corn. In this case, using a corn cap may not be the best option since it is already causing you pain. I recommend using a salicylic acid-based corn remover solution. Apply it directly to the affected area following the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can use a cushioning pad or insole to relieve pressure on the area and prevent further corn formation. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me for using Candid B lotion on my scalp. He mentioned something about 33 drops twice a day, but I can't remember if I should be applying it morning and night, or at different times. Also, should I be massaging it into my scalp? Would love some guidance on this, as I want to make sure I'm using it correctly.
Candid B lotion contains a combination of antifungals and corticosteroid components. It should be applied once in the morning and once in the night before bed. You should use the pulp of your fingers to gently massage the lotion into your scalp.

I've been dealing with some really frizzy, dull, and dry hair lately, and I'm also noticing a bit of hair fall. I'm wondering if there's a good hair oil, shampoo, and conditioner you could recommend to help with these issues? I'm really concerned about getting my hair back to looking healthy again.

I'm starting to notice these red spots on my neck, shoulders, chest, and even a few on my stomach. They're really itchy and seem to get worse when I'm out in the sun. The skin around these spots is also feeling rough and dry. They're spreading all over and I'm getting worried. What could this be?
