I've been using Betnovate regularly for around 10 years and recently stopped. Now my face is really irritated with redness and itching. I'm not sure what lotion or cream I should try to calm it down and keep my skin healthy. Any recommendations?

Is lemon good for hair?

Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.

I'm struggling with a pretty stubborn case of jock itch. It's been lingering for about a month, and even though it's a bit better now, the itching is still quite intense. Can you suggest a good antifungal cream to help clear this up?

-For jock itch, you can use Clotrimazole cream (e.g., Candid or Lotrimin) or Ketoconazole cream (e.g., Nizoral). Apply a thin layer twice daily after washing and drying the area thoroughly. Continue using it for at least 2 weeks after the itching subsides

I've been experiencing severe hair loss ever since I got married on April 28, 2017. It started just 10 days after the wedding and it's only gotten worse. Now, my hair is less than half of what it was and I can see my scalp. Could you suggest any medication or treatment that might help with this? What could be causing such an intense hair loss so quickly after marriage?

There are many reasons for Hair fall, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment, consume balanced diet and adequate rest would help.
