I've been dealing with this fungal infection for the past 7 months and finally got it cleared up with ringozone cream, but now I've got these blackish red spots where the infection used to be. They're really noticeable, and I'm eager to get rid of them quickly. Is there anything I can do to make these spots and marks fade faster?

I've been noticing that I'm losing around 10-15 strands of hair every morning when I check my pillow. This has been happening for about 25 days now. It's starting to worry me. What could be causing this hair fall, and is there anything I can do to make it stop?

I've been using BETNOVATE CREAM regularly for my skin, mostly for fairness and acne, and I'm starting to wonder about the long-term effects. My family doctor mentioned that I shouldn't use it so often. What are the potential side effects of continuing its use? Also, are there safer alternatives that I could consider?

Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.
