I've been dealing with these round-shaped rashes that itch in some spots for about three weeks now. I already saw a dermatologist and tried the medication they recommended, but it still hasnt cleared up. Should I be worried that its taking this long to go away? Do you think I should get a second opinion or try a different treatment?

It seems like you are experiencing a persistent rash with itching sensation. Since the medication prescribed by the dermatologist did not provide relief, I recommend trying a different approach. You can try using a combination of hydrocortisone cream and antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Apply the hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief from itching. Make sure to follow this regimen for at least a week and see if there is any improvement in your symptoms.

View allI'm really worried because after my second PRP treatment, I'm experiencing a lot more hair fall than after the first session. The hair fall after the first session seemed normal and even slowed down a lot after about 15 days, but this time it's pretty serious. I'm not using minoxidil or finasteride. Is this kind of hair shedding normal after PRP treatments? Should I be concerned?
After undergoing PRP treatment, it is normal to experience some hair shedding as part of the hair growth cycle. However, experiencing a sudden increase in hair fall after the second sitting can be concerning. It is important to monitor this closely and discuss it with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can consider using a gentle hair care routine and incorporating a hair growth promoting shampoo containing minoxidil and finasteride. Additionally, you may benefit from using a supplement like biotin to support hair health. If the hair fall persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Hey, I'm trying to figure out if Demelan cream is a good option for dealing with pimples and tan. Could you share your thoughts on that or suggest something else that might work better?
Demelan cream contains a combination of Glycolic acid, Arbutin, and Kojic acid, which can be effective in treating both pimples and tan. You can apply a thin layer of Demelan cream on the affected areas once daily at night. However, it is important to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream to prevent further tanning.
