I've been dealing with this white flake issue on my scalp and after consulting a doctor, he recommended using Noskurf overnight lotion and Diprovate Plus lotion after my bath on dry hair. I'm curious to know if these lotions are only effective for the flakes or will they also help with hair loss? I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure I'm on the right track here.

I've been dealing with these ringworms on my inner thighs, and they're really starting to bother me. They've been itching a lot, but since I started using itch guard a couple of days ago, that's gotten a bit better. But I'm worried because the skin's getting darker, and the ringworms seem to be spreading. Could you help me figure out what to do about this?

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and my doctor gave me Alaspan tablets for my dry and itchy skin because it's apparently some allergy issue. I noticed that Algo tablets have the same stuff in them but they're cheaper. Do you think it's okay for me to switch to Algo? Also, are there any other cheaper options you could recommend besides Alaspan?

If algo is working for you, you can use it as both are same .
