I've been using this salicylic acid face wash called Speelac, as my doctor suggested, but after just two days of using it twice daily, my skin's feeling super dry and hurts a lot. It's like I can feel my skin burning when I put on any ointments. Is this something normal or should I be worried? I've also been using Acnemoist and Derivative CMS gel. Would appreciate any insights on this!

You may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the salicylic acid face wash. The dryness, pain, and burning sensation you are feeling are not normal and may indicate that the product is too harsh for your skin. I recommend stopping the use of the Speelac face wash and consult your doctor or dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe your skin.

View allI've been dealing with eczema for about a year now, and I'm using Sorifix Ointment like my doctor suggested, but it's weird because the symptoms keep fluctuating. It gets better, then worse. Is this normal? What else can I do to manage it more consistently?

I'm looking for a good non-alcoholic minoxidil topical solution because the one I'm using, Mintop from Dr. Reddy's, is making my scalp really itchy. Any recommendations?
You can consider alternatives like Minicheck F lotion, which is a non-alcoholic minoxidil topical solution. Another option is Traya's Minoxidil 5%, an alcohol-free solution that uses advanced lipid technology to promote hair growth.

I've been using a procapil solution for a couple of months now, but I haven't noticed any improvement in my hair fall. I'm quite concerned about whether I should stop using it. If I discontinue it, will it cause my hair fall to worsen? I'm really worried and would appreciate some guidance.
Procapil is a combination of biotinoyl tripeptide-1, apigenin, and oleanolic acid, commonly found in hair growth products. If you have not seen any improvement in hair fall after 2 months of use, it may be appropriate to discontinue it. Discontinuing procapil solution is not known to cause an increase in hair fall. You can consider switching to minoxidil solution, which is a commonly used medication for hair growth. The recommended dosage for minoxidil solution is typically 1 milliliter applied to the scalp twice daily.
