I've been dealing with a lot of itching on my scalp and there's some pain too. My hair is still falling out even though I'm using folica hair tincture. Do you think it will help improve my condition or should I try something else? It's really worrying me.

If you are experiencing itching, pain, and hair loss on your scalp, using Folica hair tincture may help improve your condition. However, it is important to also address the underlying cause of your symptoms. I recommend using Folica hair tincture twice a day, applying it directly to the scalp and gently massaging it in. Additionally, you may consider using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole to help with the itching and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing some really uncomfortable skin issues. I've got these rashes that are making my skin itch like crazy, and it's become super red and even has black spots appearing. It's getting to the point where my skin feels like it's burning, and the irritation is quite unbearable. I'm really worried about what's going on. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?

You may be experiencing an allergic reaction on your skin. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to reduce itching and redness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing cream like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
