I've been dealing with dandruff, hair fall, and a flaky scalp, and after seeing the doctor today, he prescribed KEVON ZIP lotion. Now I'm confused because he told me to apply it two hours before washing my hair, but when I got home and read the directions, it says to use it on wet hair for only 3 minutes. So, which method is actually correct? He also recommended Fidelia Shampoo and BTN ultra tablets for a 30-day course. Just wondering if this treatment plan sounds right to you, or if I should consider any other options?

-Its best to follow your doctors advice and apply KEVON ZIP lotion 2 hours before your head bath. For the shampoo, use Fidelia as directed, and take the BTN Ultra tablets for 30 days. Always follow the prescribed instructions for optimal results.

I've been using an IPL hair removal device at home and I started noticing that after a few sessions, two new moles appeared and an existing mole got darker and looked different. So I stopped using it after that. It's been almost a year since then but I'm still worried. Should I be concerned about these changes?

Thats clearly due to allergy,you are allergic to hair removal substances avoiding them is the only solution that you have and visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
