I've been dealing with a lot of dryness on my skin lately, and I'm not sure what to do. I heard about Luliconazole cream and was wondering if it's a good option to use for dryness. Also, I've started washing my hair daily with an anti-dandruff shampoo because my scalp gets really flaky. Is that okay to do, or could it be making the dryness worse?

I'm taking iron supplements with vitamin C for three weeks now to help with my hair loss, and I noticed my ferritin levels went up from 30 to 205 in this time. But I'm still losing hair. What should I do?

It's good that your ferritin levels have increased, but hair loss can still persist. In addition to iron supplements, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on your scalp. This can help promote hair growth. Additionally, consider taking Biotin tablets 10 mg once daily to further support hair health. Remember to continue with your iron supplements and maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients for overall hair health.
