I've been using HH Lite cream at night, and it's really helped clear up my acne quite a bit. But Ive noticed my face tends to stay red a lot now. Also, whenever I have a night out with alcohol, I seem to break out with acne the next day. I tried taking an LCZ tablet for what I think might be an allergy, and it seems to help, but only to a certain extent. I'm curious about whether there are any side effects from this mix of treatments. Is there an alternative to HH Lite that might not cause redness or react with alcohol?

View allI've been dealing with this really itchy scalp issue, and it's getting worse. Whenever I scratch my scalp, these tiny crystals or granules come out under my nails. There's also a plaque-like thing on my scalp, and because of it, my hair is falling out and I feel even more itchy. It's really frustrating. What could be causing this and what should I do?
To help with the itching and flaking, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for at least 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid solution on the affected areas of your scalp. It is important to follow the instructions provided with these products and use them regularly for best results.

I'm thinking about getting Q-switch Nd:YAG laser treatment for my dark lips and I'm a bit concerned about its safety. If the dark pigmentation on my lips is removed, will it come back again? I dont think its genetic since no one in my family has it, and Im not a smoker. I developed it when I turned 13. Could it be related to mild PCOS?

I've been dealing with a lot of dandruff lately, and it's started to cause pimples on my face. What can I do about this dandruff problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
Dandruff can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks to help reduce dandruff. Additionally, for the pimples on your face, you can use a topical acne treatment such as benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) once daily on the affected areas. Remember to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist.
