I've been using Melas cream for about 23 days, and now my face is turning red. What should I do to get rid of this redness? Is it normal, or should I stop using the cream? Would appreciate any advice!

To alleviate redness caused by Melas cream, discontinue use, apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Cetaphil, Aloe vera), and use a cool compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce inflammation; if redness persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I'm a 21-year-old girl and last November and December, I suffered from typhoid. Since I started recovering fully in January, Ive noticed that my hair is falling out a lot. I used to have long, thick hair, but now its really thinning, and I can even see bald spots. I'm worried and I really dont want to shave my head. How long can I expect it to take for my hair to grow back to normal, and is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Will not shaving be a problem?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've got this black mole on the left side of my nose, and it's about 5mm wide and 2mm thick. I'm really hoping to get it removed without any scarring. Could you let me know who I should reach out to for this and what it might cost?

I'm thinking about starting Evion 400 capsules and I'm a bit confused. Should I take them with water or milk? Also, could you recommend a better alternative to Evion 400 if there are any for better results?

Evion 400 capsules, which contain Vitamin E, can be taken with water. There is no specific requirement to take them with milk. For best results, you can consider taking Supraneuron capsules. They contain a combination of B vitamins and are beneficial for nerve health. The recommended dosage is one capsule daily.
