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.

View allI'm curious if using a ready-made Aloe Vera Gel mixed with Vitamin E is a good idea for lightening the dark patches on my face. I've been advised by a doctor on Practo to use SPF 30 for extra protection, but I'm wondering if this Aloe Vera and Vitamin E mix might be beneficial for my skin concerns. What do you think?
Aloe vera gel and vitamin E can be a good combination to help reduce dark patches on the face. Here's why: 1. Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation. 2. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to dark patches. 3. Vitamin E also has skin-lightening properties, which can help reduce the appearance of dark patches. However, keep in mind: - It's essential to choose a readymade aloe vera gel that is pure and free of harsh chemicals. - Vitamin E can be quite thick, so you may want to mix it with a few drops of a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil to make it easier to apply. - Always do a patch test before applying any new skincare mixture to your face to ensure you don't have any sensitivity or allergic reactions. - Consistency is key! Apply the mixture regularly, ideally once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take some time to see results. Remember to consult with a dermatologist if the dark patches persist or worsen. They can provide personalized advice and help you identify the underlying cause of the dark patches. Also, don't forget to use SPF 30 as recommended by your doctor to protect your skin from further damage!

I've been having this really uncomfortable problem with severe itching all over my body, and whenever I scratch, these lines show up on my skin. It seems like the only thing that helps is taking cetirizine. It usually stops the itching for about a week, but then it all starts again. I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious or is there a way to treat it so it doesn't keep coming back?
That could be URTICARIA identify the triggering factor and avoid it,visit Dermatologist for appropriate managemnet

I recently had protected sex and gave unprotected oral sex to my friend. Afterwards, I developed angular cheilitis, but thankfully it cleared up within five days with treatment. I'm concerned though, could licking the vagina be the reason I got angular cheilitis?
.based on history that you are telling, most probably it was herpes labialis that you suffered from not angular cheilitis..
