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 allIve been dealing with a lot of pimples since last month, and my doctor recommended I try Melalumin TM and Nadoxin creams. I'm worried because I've heard these creams have chemicals that might darken my skin. Plus, my pimples have pus in them. What should I do?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

My friend is experiencing a lot of hair fall and seems to be going bald. I'm really curious and a bit worried. Is there a way to actually regrow hair on a bald head?
While it may be challenging to grow hair on a completely bald head, there are some treatment options available that may help stimulate hair growth. One common medication used for male pattern baldness is Minoxidil, which is available in brands like Rogaine. It is typically applied to the scalp twice daily in a 5% solution for men. Another option is Finasteride, which is available in brands like Propecia. It is taken orally in a 1mg dose once daily. These medications may help slow down hair loss and promote some degree of hair regrowth in certain individuals. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your friend's specific situation.

I've got this sore on my inner thigh from my thighs rubbing together, and I've been using Betadine on it but it just won't heal. Can you tell me what else I should do?
That could be friction rub or fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
