I've been having this issue where every time I shave down there, I end up with these strange red bumps. I'm really clueless about what might be causing this and how I can prevent it. Could you give me some advice or suggestions on what I should do?

The red lumps may be a sign of contact dermatitis. This generally refers to an allergic inflammatory reaction on the skin seen due to contact with the metal of the shaving razor. You may want to switch to a ceramic blade, which is considerably less irritating to the skin. Also consider using soothing aftershaves, lotions or anti-inflammatory creams.

I'm a bit confused about using halotop. Should I apply it before or after I wash my hair? And should I be putting it directly on my scalp or just on my hair? I'm not sure what's best.

You should use Halotop after washing your hair. Apply it directly on the scalp, not on the hair. Use a small amount and gently massage it into the scalp.

I've been using medisalic cream for about a month, but now I have to switch to another cream because I noticed some marks on my face. I'm planning to go back to medisalic afterwards. Could stopping it for a while affect my skin?

I'm really worried about my hair falling out from the roots over the past three months. Every shower seems to lead to a lot of strands coming off my scalp. What could be causing this severe hair fall, and is there something I should be doing differently to help with it?
