I've got this burn on my right hand from spilling hot water a while back. I've been using silverkind ointment as the doctor suggested, but now I'm seeing these red pigments pop up and there's this constant itching. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the silver sulfadiazine in the Silverkind ointment. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected area with mild soap and water. You can apply a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm really concerned because my neck area has been getting darker for quite some time now. Someone mentioned I should try this cream called Memopi HC, and I managed to get it from the pharmacy. The thing is, the instructions say I need to see a doctor before using it. Can you help me understand how and when I should use this cream? Is it really necessary to consult a doctor first?

Question

I'm 24 and I've noticed my hair starting to fall out around 5 months ago. It's mainly coming out rapidly from the sides of my head above my ears, and now there's barely any hair left there. My crown and the top of my head seem fine, with normal volume. I've been using miniscalp10 and dutasteride for 5 months, but my condition seems worse. My hairline has also receded a bit, and I've always had a big forehead. I read somewhere that this might be retrograde alopecia, and I'm worried that a transplant might not be an option. My hair specialist keeps giving me the same meds, but I'm feeling really down about all this. Can you help or suggest something different?

Question
