I've been given Onabet SD topical solution for a scalp issue. Can you tell me how to apply it? Do I need to leave it in, or should I wash it out after a while? I'm a bit confused about the right way to use it.

View allI'm really struggling with this persistent ringworm infection. It's been 8 years now, and I'm still not able to get it under control. I've seen more than 8 doctors, tried all sorts of heavy medication, antibiotics, creams, and liquids, but nothing seems to last more than a month. I usually get some relief, but then it just comes back. It's so frustrating and I'm desperate for some help. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

I've been having terrible hair fall ever since I had dengue fever. It's really worrying me, and I don't know what to do to make it stop quickly. Could you please guide me on how to deal with this?
To help stop hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in promoting hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive stress.

I've been dealing with severe pigmentation on my hands and neck, and I'm really struggling to find something that works long-term. Initially, I tried using Glyaha Koj with Diprovate, and it seemed to help, but once I stopped, the discoloration came right back. Then I moved on to using Melacare and Skinlite, but unfortunately, they didn't make much of a difference. I'm now wondering if chemical peels could be a solution here. Do you think they might help with this stubborn pigmentation?
Chemical peels containing ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid can help in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. It is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable type and strength of chemical peel for your skin type and pigmentation severity. One commonly used chemical peel for pigmentation is Cosmelan. It is a depigmentation treatment that helps to reduce melanin production and lighten dark spots. The treatment involves applying the Cosmelan mask in the clinic and then following a specific at-home care regimen. For your severe pigmentation concern on hands and neck, a series of chemical peel sessions may be recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart. It is important to follow post-peel care instructions diligently, including sun protection, to achieve the best results and prevent further pigmentation. Always consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your skin condition.
