I've been dealing with a lot of dandruff lately, and it's started to cause pimples on my face. What can I do about this dandruff problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

Dandruff can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks to help reduce dandruff. Additionally, for the pimples on your face, you can use a topical acne treatment such as benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) once daily on the affected areas. Remember to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist.

View allI'm dealing with a reddish rash on my cleavage and under my breast. It tends to get worse when I sweat and then becomes really dry and sometimes itchy after a shower. I noticed last time that a zinc-based medicine from my dermatologist helped a bit. It's not really bothering me otherwise, but I'm just not sure what else to do. What do you think it might be, and is there something more I should try?
That could be fungal infection ,maintain personal hygiene and you continue that ointment,if it is recurring have to take oral antifungal medicines ,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss over the past two months and started using Mintop 2 about 20 days ago. However, it feels like the hair loss has actually increased since I began using it. I remember last time I tried it for a month, and it seemed to help stop the hair loss. I'm 23 and female. What do you think could be happening? Could it just take more time to work, or should I be concerned?
you can switch to higher dose of topical minoxidil under trichologist guidance, before you have to check the cause of hair fall which could be due to androgen effect, any dermatophytic infection etc., consultation with Dermatologist and appropriate approach would help you.
