I've been using clotrimazole twice a day for dry skin for around 3 weeks like my doctor said. It's only made the itchiness worse even though I was told it would clear up in 2 weeks. Should I keep using it, try something else, or stop completely?

I'm really worried about a burn scar from Dettol. Does anyone know whether it's going to be a permanent mark or will it eventually fade away? And if it does heal, how long does it normally take for new skin to develop?

I'm dealing with a hair fall issue, and my doctor suggested using Diprovate Plus. The problem is, I've forgotten exactly how I'm supposed to use it. Should I be applying it directly to the scalp? I'm really unsure and a bit concerned about using it wrong. Could you guide me on this?

YES it can used.

So, I recently used chuna powder to remove a mole, and now the surrounding skin is burned, although it's completely healed now. The thing is, there's a small scar and a tiny hole-like uneven surface left behind. I'm using dermadew soap and can see the scar lightening a bit. I'm really hoping to get rid of the uneven surface and scar. Can you suggest a cream that might help with this?

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
