I've been dealing with this stubborn acne on the back of my head for a while now. I tried taking Cifran for a month and then switched to Droxyl, using beta gel at the same time, but nothing seems to be working. The acne is even spreading to my forehead, and my skin is turning red. What could be going wrong, and what should I do next?

I accidentally burned my middle finger with hot oil about a week ago. I've been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice daily, using megaheal cream for the dressing, and taking diclo p tablets for the pain. But it still hurts when I'm changing the dressing. Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?

I'm dealing with a lot of hair fall here in Bangalore and I'm wondering if it's because of the hard water. Should I try using alum or fitkari in the water before I wash my hair? Also, I came across something called Mintop Pro and I'm curious if it's helpful. Are there any side effects I should know about? Would it be a good idea to start using Mintop Pro?

don't use for long time
