I've been dealing with this pitryasis rosea thing since last week. The doctor said it might take a few months to clear up and gave me some mild soap and lotion. But now the first rashes are turning brown and feel bumpy and scaly. It's like I can feel them raised on my skin. They look really bad, and it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon. Is this normal? What should I expect, and is there anything else I can do?

It is normal for the rash in pityriasis rosea to evolve over time, with the initial rash often becoming darker in color and developing a scaly texture. To help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing, you can consider using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with any itching. Make sure to continue using the prescribed mild soap and lotion as well. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've just started using this morr5 stuff in the morning and the regrowth serum at night, and now I'm noticing these white flakes on my scalp. Plus, when I wash my hair in the morning, I find about 15-20 strands falling out. Is this a normal reaction when you first start using these hair treatments? I only began last Saturday.
After applying Morr5% in the morning and Regrowth Serum at night, it is not uncommon to experience some side effects such as white flakes on the scalp and increased hair shedding, especially during the initial days of using these medications. This can be a normal reaction as your scalp adjusts to the new products. To address the white flakes on your scalp, you can try using a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. As for the increased hair shedding, it is important to continue the treatment as prescribed and monitor the situation. If the shedding persists or worsens, you may consider consulting your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been experiencing a sudden acne breakout on my cheeks and chin for the past 12 weeks, which is really unusual for me since I don't typically get acne. I even got tested for PCOD but that came out negative. I'm really confused and worried about what's causing this. Any ideas on what might be going on?
Sudden acne breakouts on the cheeks and chin in females can sometimes be due to hormonal fluctuations or changes in skincare products. Since your PCOD test results are negative, it's good to rule out hormonal imbalance. You can try using topical treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. I recommend using "Differin Gel" once daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use "Cetaphil" gentle skin cleanser twice a day. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got these warts on my face and they're starting to get bigger every day. I had a dermatologist remove one before, but it ended up costing me around six thousand. Is that a normal price for this kind of procedure, or is it a bit steep? Also, what can I do to prevent new ones from appearing in the future?
