I've been dealing with a pretty bad dandruff issue and my hair's been falling out a lot more than usual. I went for an ozone treatment at a salon, hoping it would help, but I haven't seen any changes. What else can I do to fix this?

I've been dealing with this rash near my belly button for the past two months. I saw a dermatologist and got an ointment that helped for a bit, but as soon as it runs out, the rash comes back. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about it, and is there a long-term solution? I'm concerned about why it just won't go away.

It sounds like you may be dealing with a recurring rash near your belly button. Since the ointment prescribed by your dermatologist provided temporary relief but the rash keeps coming back, I recommend trying an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that may irritate the rash further. If the rash persists, follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation.
