I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for about six months and have noticed I've lost almost 40% of my hair density. The hair loss stopped when I started treating the seborrhea, so I'm pretty sure that's what's behind it. My symptoms were mostly just bad dandruff, no itching or redness. Do you think my hair will grow back?

View allI'm dealing with an open wound on my foot and have been using CIPLADINE Ointment to stop any bacterial infections and pus. I'm really concerned and curious if this ointment will also help the wound itself heal. Can you advise?
CIPLADINE Ointment will help keep the wound free of bacterial infections and therefore help prevent complications, but it is not primarily a wound-healing ointment. You may need additional treatment (such as moisturizing and tissue-repairing ointments) to help heal the wound itself.

I've been off minoxidil for about three months now and I'm really worried because my hair is thinning and falling out more since I stopped. Originally, I was using it for acne and hair fall, and eventually switched to a stronger dose, but then I had some side effects like an itchy scalp, a racing heart, and swollen eyes, so I had to quit. Before starting minoxidil, my hair was nice and thick, and it even stayed that way while I was on it. But now, it's really thin. I'm currently trying BTN ultra biotin tablets to help out. How long will this hair fall continue and when will my hair get back to normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
When you stop using minoxidil, hair shedding is common because the hair growth stimulated by minoxidil enters a resting phase. This shedding period can last a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors. However, for many, hair fall should stabilize within 3-6 months after stopping minoxidil, and the hair should return to its previous state (before minoxidil) over time. To support your hair during this period: - Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, E, and minerals like zinc and iron are important. BTN Ultra biotin can support hair health, but ensure a balanced intake. - Reduce Stress: Stress management can help reduce hair loss and improve recovery. - Use Mild Hair Products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle shampoos to support your scalp. If the hair fall continues or worsens, a follow-up with your dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized advice and to rule out other underlying causes.

I've been struggling with some pretty bad acne and scars in the area between my breasts since I was 14, and now I'm 17. It's super embarrassing, and no matter what the temperature is, I tend to sweat a lot there. I'm at a loss about what to do. Could you offer some advice?
Possible Causes* 1. *Sweat and bacteria*: Excessive sweating in the intermammary fold (the area between your breasts) can create a warm, moist environment where bacteria thrive, leading to acne. 2. *Friction and irritation*: Tight clothing, bras, or excessive movement can cause friction, leading to irritation and acne. 3. *Hormonal fluctuations*: As a 17-year-old, hormonal changes during puberty might contribute to acne. *Self-Care Tips* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Gently wash the area with a mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Use a gentle exfoliant*: Exfoliate the area 1-2 times a week with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 3. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Choose cotton or linen clothing that allows for airflow and reduces friction. 4. *Use a medicated powder or spray*: Apply a powder or spray containing ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or aluminum chloride to help control sweat and bacteria. *Professional Help* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. 2. *Consider topical or oral treatments*: Your dermatologist may prescribe topical creams, gels, or oral antibiotics to help manage acne and prevent scarring. *Remember* 1. *You're not alone*: Many people experience acne and skin issues in this area. 2. *Seek support*: Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional if you're feeling embarrassed or self-conscious.
