I've been dealing with these lichen planus spots for a while now. Even after treatment, they seem to come back. I'm really looking for something that's a permanent fix. Could you help me find the best treatment that prevents them from regrowing? I'm starting to feel a bit frustrated with this cycle.

Lichen planus spots can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol cream applied twice daily for several weeks. In more severe cases, oral corticosteroids like Prednisone may be prescribed for a short period. For long-term management and prevention of regrowth, topical immunomodulators like Tacrolimus ointment can be used. Additionally, antihistamines like Loratadine can help with itching. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm 25 and I've been using Cloben G for a couple of months, but now that I've stopped, my face has turned red and it's super itchy with these rashes. I'm really not sure what to do next. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

This could be due to withdrawal effects or rebound effects from the steroid in the cream. To help with the redness and itching, you can try using a mild topical corticosteroid like hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized and avoid any harsh skincare products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got this heat bump on my left buttock that's been around for about six days now. It's getting bigger and it's really painful. Also, I've been having a fever. Could you suggest any creams or medication for it? And are there certain foods I should avoid? Should I stick with regular soap for cleaning it, or is there a special soap I should be using instead?

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm 35 and for the past five years, I've been dealing with these painful bumps with pus on my scalp, which the doctors say is scalp folliculitis. I attached some images to show what's been going on. I've already seen a dermatologist, but I'm still struggling to find relief. I've tried a bunch of medicines and shampoos like Isotrian 10 mg, T.Bact Shampoo, 8X Shampoo, Limcee Tablet, Cap Doxt 100 mg, Salisia KT Shampoo, Metasone F Cream, Pantop 40, Gudcef CV, Amoxyclavunate 625 mg, Ultiderm Lotion, Cadid TV Shampoo, Monoz 500 mg, Flutican200, Sporolac, Septran Tablet, Isotroin 20 mg, and Trigaine Shampoo, but nothing seems to work. Can you please suggest the best tablets or shampoos that might help with this?

It sounds like you have been dealing with scalp folliculitis for quite some time despite trying various medications. Based on the medications you have listed, I would recommend continuing with T.BACT SHAMPOO for its antibacterial properties to help with the infection in the hair follicles. Additionally, you can try using SALISIA KT SHAMPOO to help reduce inflammation and itching on the scalp. For oral medications, you can continue with CAP DOXT 100 MG for its antibiotic properties. In addition, you can try ISOTROIN 20 MG to help regulate oil production in the skin and prevent clogged pores. It's important to follow the prescribed dosages for each medication and to be consistent with your treatment regimen. If you experience any severe side effects or if the condition does not improve, it would be best to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
