I've been taking itraconazole and I'm starting to notice more hair fall than usual. Could this be a side effect? If it is, what can I do to manage it while still sticking to my itraconazole treatment plan?

I've been noticing some hair loss around my sideburns, near my ears, and on my forehead, which is already pretty high, and even at the edges. I can feel some inflammation on my scalp in certain spots, although theres nothing visible. Its a bit uncomfortable, especially when I touch those areas. Should I be worried, or is there something I can do about it?

If the inflammation is related to seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff, a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or salicylic acid may help reduce inflammation. For male pattern baldness, treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) can help slow down hair loss and promote regrowth. If its a condition like alopecia areata or psoriasis, your doctor may recommend topical steroids or immune-modulating creams.consult your demat

I'm really concerned about finding an effective full body fairness treatment. I've tried so many different methods, but the results only last for a few days. Can you suggest something longer-lasting or maybe explain why this keeps happening?

I tried all the way to get the results. Some treatment giving result for some days. For full body fairness treatment, you can consider using a combination of topical creams containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. You can use Kojic acid based soap for bathing. Additionally, you can take oral antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E. It is important to use sunscreen with a high SPF during the day to protect your skin from further damage. Consult a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan and dosage recommendations.
