I've been using Betnovate C on my face for about three months, and now that I've stopped, I'm experiencing really bad side effects. It's like I've lost half of my face, and I'm really worried. I'm from Maharashtra and would love to meet with you. Could you please share your clinic address so I can get some help?

View allI've got this strange rash on my arm that I noticed a few days ago. It's just one spot, and it's circular with a scaly edge, but the center is really red. I'm wondering what it might be. Any ideas?
There is a possibility that the rash you are describing is a ringworm infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my hair fall. Last year in June, I had a similar issue and found out through blood tests that my vitamin D levels were quite low, around 4.74 ngml. I took Uprise D3 60k once a week for a month and Orofer XT daily, and it seemed to help, so I stopped the medication. But now, the hair fall has returned just like before. I'm not sure what to do next. Could you advise on what might be causing this and how I can manage it?
It's great that you identified the low vitamin D levels as a potential contributor to your hair fall. However, stopping the medication might have led to the recurrence of hair fall. Vitamin D and Hair Loss Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair follicles. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium. Recommendations 1. Restart Vitamin D supplements: Consider restarting Uprise D3 60k once a week for a few months to replenish your vitamin D levels. 2. Maintain a consistent dosage: Instead of stopping the medication, consider maintaining a consistent dosage of vitamin D supplements, possibly at a lower frequency (e.g., once every 2-3 weeks). 3. Monitor your vitamin D levels: Schedule regular blood tests to monitor your vitamin D levels and adjust your supplementation accordingly. 4. Address other potential causes: While vitamin D deficiency might be a contributing factor, it's essential to investigate other potential causes of hair loss, such as hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or nutritional deficiencies. 5. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule a consultation with a dermatologist to discuss your hair loss and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Additional Tips 1. Maintain a balanced diet: Ensure you're getting essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin, which support hair growth. 2. Reduce stress: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 3. Use gentle hair care products: Avoid using harsh chemicals or heat styling tools that can damage your hair and lead to breakage.
