I've been using multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on my face to try and clear up some acne, but now I'm dealing with some skin burn, a lot of redness, and even a little bit of peeling. What should I do about this? Is there a way to soothe my skin or should I be worried?

To treat the skin burn, redness, and peeling, you can use a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream along with a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil. Apply the Hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and follow it up with the moisturizer. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to reduce any itching or inflammation. Make sure to avoid further use of multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on your face.

View allI've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and breakage lately, especially at the point where my new hair growth meets the area that was treated with keratin three months ago. It's really noticeable every time I wash or brush my hair. Do you think I should stick with the Cacau shampoo and conditioner I've been using, or would another hair treatment help stop the hair fall? What would you suggest?
Keratin-treated hair can be prone to breakage, especially where the treated hair meets the new growth. _Shampoo and Conditioner_ 1. _Switch to a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo_: Consider a shampoo specifically formulated for keratin-treated hair or damaged hair. 2. _Use a moisturizing conditioner_: A deep conditioning treatment can help repair and restore your hair's moisture balance. _Hair Treatments_ 1. _Hair mask_: Apply a hair mask once or twice a week to provide an intense dose of moisture and nourishment. 2. _Hair oil_: Use a hair oil rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, such as argan oil, coconut oil, or olive oil, to help repair and protect your hair. 3. _Protein treatment_: Consider a protein-based treatment to help repair and strengthen your hair. _Reduce Breakage_ 1. _Be gentle when combing_: Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently comb out your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up. 2. _Avoid heat styling_: Try to minimize heat styling or use a heat protectant spray to help prevent damage. 3. _Get regular trims_: Regular trims can help prevent split ends and breakage.

I'm dealing with acne on my face, and my doctor suggested using Deriva BPO. Is it alright if I use Deriva CMS instead? She also mentioned applying it and then washing it off. Won't that dry out my skin and possibly lead to more pigmentation issues?
No take only medicines advised by your doctor and follow their advice

I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?
A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.
