I've been dealing with a dandruff issue and it's getting really frustrating. The dandruff is quite bad and it's making my scalp itch a lot more than usual. Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this?

To tackle dandruff and itching, try an anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione (Head & Shoulders), ketoconazole (Nizoral), or salicylic acid (Neutrogena), and complement it with an apple cider vinegar rinse, coconut oil treatment, or tea tree oil application to soothe the scalp and reduce flaking.

View allIs Tenovate a steroid cream? I came across two types: Tenovate cream base and Tenovate ointment base. I was told to use the cream base for my eczema blisters, but because of the dry weather, I switched to the ointment without talking to my doctor. Was that a mistake? Also, I've heard about Clobetasol being a steroid, is that true?
Yes you can have it no problem,moisturize it often and do not let your skin become dry and yes clobetosol is a steroid

I've been dealing with these really itchy red circles on my skin, and it's kind of freaking me out. The edges of these circles have these little boil-like bumps, and when they dry out, there's this white flaky stuff. Does this sound familiar to you, and what do you think it might be? I'm really hoping for some advice on what could be causing this and what I should do next.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

I'm a 22-year-old female and I've been dealing with thinning hair for the past 2 to 3 years. My scalp is becoming more visible, and just recently, I noticed my frontal hairline seems to be receding. I also happen to be obese and often use heat styling on my hair. I'm really concerned and curious to know if there's a way I can get my hair back to its former state. What can I do to recover my hair?
Hairfall could be due to obesity,maintai healthy weight and consume balanced diet,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
