I've been using betnovate n cream for the past 6 years, but I stopped about 15 days ago. Now my face is really red and itchy, with dry skin and tiny blisters. I've tried using Cetaphil lotion and cleanser, which helped with the redness and dryness, but the blisters and itchiness won't go away. Can you please help me figure out what to do?

Could there be something more serious going on? I'm really hoping for some advice on what might be causing them to keep coming back.

I'm really concerned because I'm losing around 300 to 400 strands of hair every day. It's like, whenever I comb, touch, or wash my hair, I'm shedding so much. Plus, I'm dealing with dandruff and dead skin too, even if I skip washing my hair for just a day. What's going on here? How can I stop this hair fall and maybe even regrow my hair? It's starting to really worry me.

Excessive hair fall and dandruff can be distressing. Identifying the Underlying Cause To address your concerns, it's essential to identify the underlying cause of your hair fall and dandruff. Possible causes include: 1. Genetics: Family history can play a role in hair loss. 2. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal changes, particularly an excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can contribute to hair loss. 3. Scalp Conditions: Conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, or eczema can cause hair fall. 4. Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, or biotin can contribute to hair loss. 5. Hairstyling and Grooming: Excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, or rough handling can damage hair and lead to breakage.Additional Tips 1. Reduce Heat Styling: Minimize heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. 2. Use Gentle Hair Care Products: Choose shampoos and conditioners that are gentle and sulfate-free. 3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Reduce exposure to chemicals like hair dye, perms, and relaxers. 4. Maintain Good Scalp Hygiene: Wash your scalp regularly to prevent oil buildup and reduce dandruff.
