I've been using Selsun shampoo to manage my dandruff, applying it about twice a week. I'm currently breastfeeding my baby and I'm a bit concerned. Is it alright to keep using Selsun while I'm breastfeeding, or is there any risk involved?

No problem you can use it and is not related to breast feeding

I've been on Brintop F 5 for 56 months now, as my dermatologist suggested. At first, like around the first 34 months, it did wonders for meI noticed my hair thinning got so much better. But lately, Im seeing the opposite. My hair above the forehead is thinning even more now, and there's more dandruff, too. Should I bump up the strength of the lotion from 5 to 10, or would it be better to stop using it altogether?

It seems like you are experiencing some changes in your hair growth pattern and increased dandruff while using Brintop F 5. I recommend consulting your dermatologist for a reevaluation of your current treatment. Your dermatologist may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication. In the meantime, you can try using a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo like Nizoral 2% twice a week to help manage the dandruff.

I've been dealing with rashes on my inner thighs and buttocks, and I've tried using CandidB whenever they appear. But now, things have gotten worseit's spread across my entire butt and thighs. The skin has turned darker in these areas, and it's starting to peel off like scales. It's really concerning, and I wish I could show you pictures to make it clearer. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I should do next?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
