I've been dealing with a pigmentation issue and visited a dermatologist for help. They suggested I use Melapik Ever cream on my face at night. But when I woke up, my face felt itchy and had a burning sensation. After using it for a couple more days, my skin became incredibly dry, and a whitish layer appeared all over. Plus, my skin seems darker than it was before. I told the doctor about these reactions, and they advised me to stop using the cream. Is this a normal reaction? What should I do next to get my skin back to normal?

View allSo, about two months ago, I had a scab on my nose, and after it peeled off, the skin underneath turned pink. It's been two months now, and the pink skin hasn't changed back to its natural color. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do, or is it just a matter of time before the skin tone evens out?
Usually it takes time to regain normal skin, especially over sensitive areas like nose ,give time and moisturize it often, if the size is increasing visit Dermatologist for evaluation.

I've been dealing with confluent reticulated papillomatosis for about a year now, and the dermatologist I saw gave me a steroid cream. It works for a bit, but then the condition just comes back. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm really anxious about going out because of it. Is there any permanent treatment for this condition?

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.
