I've been dealing with hair fall and my dermatologist suggested using Halox lotion on my scalp twice a day. Can you explain what this lotion actually does for hair fall and if it's really effective?

I'm dealing with Seborrheic Dermatitis and it's causing my hair to fall out. I'm using the prescribed medical shampoos, but I'm wondering when the hair fall will stop and when this dermatitis might clear up. I'm really tired of using these harsh shampoos all the time. Is it okay to just let it heal on its own?

I'm worried because I've been using Melacare for the last four years, and now my face has become really oily. I'm planning to stop using it, but I'm not sure what to do. Melacare hasn't given me any allergies, but I want to reduce the oiliness. Could you suggest how I can stop this oily production on my face?

you cannot stop it abruptly, wean it off slowly in two weeks by applying alternate days for a week and two days once in a week and soo,for alternate suggestion visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
