I've been using Betnovate GM cream for fairness for the past three years, mostly applying a thick layer at night. Recently, I noticed hair growth on my face and that my skin was getting thinner. When I looked up the side effects, I realized what might be going on. Since I stopped using the cream, my skin's become super dry, flaky, dull, itchy, and covered in red bumps. I'm really worried about this. What can I do to fix my skin condition?

View allIm considering getting a cysteine treatment for my hair, and Im curious to know if its actually effective for hair fall. Ive also been dealing with a dry scalp. Would this treatment help with that too? Any advice would be appreciated!
Cysteine treatment can be beneficial for hair fall and dry scalp. Here's how: Hair Fall: 1. Strengthens hair roots: Cysteine helps to fortify hair roots, reducing the likelihood of hair fall. 2. Improves hair texture: Cysteine treatment can enhance hair elasticity, making it less prone to breakage. 3. Reduces split ends: By repairing and restoring hair bonds, cysteine treatment can minimize split ends, which can contribute to hair fall. Dry Scalp: 1. Moisturizes the scalp: Cysteine treatment can help hydrate the scalp, reducing dryness and itchiness. 2. Reduces dandruff: The antifungal and antibacterial properties of cysteine can help control dandruff and other scalp issues. 3. Soothes irritation: Cysteine's anti-inflammatory properties can calm irritated scalp areas, reducing redness and discomfort. Before undergoing cysteine treatment, consider the following: 1. Consult a professional: Book an appointment with a dermatologist or trichologist to discuss your hair and scalp concerns.

I'm really worried about my boyfriend. He developed this small bump in his upper pubic area that looked like a pimple at first. We assumed it was just an ingrown hair. But it's been really painful and just keeps getting bigger. Now it's about the size of my fingertip, bright red, and the center looks hollow, almost like something's eating away at it. We're not sure if it could be a bug bite or what. Do you have any idea what this might be and how we should handle it?
It's essential to consult a SURGEON for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Possible causes of the bump could be: 1. Infected ingrown hair or folliculitis 2. Abscess or boil 3. Cyst or sebaceous cyst 4. Skin infection like cellulitis or erysipelas 5. Insect bite or sting Given the symptoms you described, such as: - Increasing size and pain - Bright red color - Hollow center
