I've been noticing some white stuff showing up on my face after I shower or wash it, and it's really bothering me. Could you tell me what's going on and what I should use to make it go away?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After taking shower or washing your face, the white stuff appearing on your face is likely sebum mixed with dead skin cells. This can be managed by using a gentle exfoliating cleanser containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. You can try using a face wash like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide once daily. Remember to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent dryness.

View allI'm trying to manage my dandruff situation and heard about using diprovate plus lotion on the scalp. I'm just wondering, can I actually apply it directly to my hair like I would with regular hair oil? Is there anything else I should know while using it?
Diprovate Plus lotion is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including dandruff. To apply it to the scalp for dandruff, you should part your hair and apply a small amount of the lotion directly onto the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips. It is important to avoid applying it to the hair shafts like regular hair oil, as it is specifically meant for the scalp. Use it as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.
