I've got a kiss mark on my neck and I'm worried about how to get rid of it. It's just blood that's clotted and left a mark, but it doesn't hurt. Any ideas on what I can do to make it disappear faster?

To remove the mark from the kiss mark on your neck, you can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling and help with the clotting. You can also apply a topical arnica cream to help with bruising. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the mark persists or if you have any concerns, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about my hair loss. I've been using minoxidil 5% for quite a few years now, but the results have been pretty disappointing. I recently came across this new dutamax lotion that has dutasteride in it. Do you think it's safe or effective to use it on my scalp?

I'm considering using Brite lite cream for skin whitening, but I'm a bit worried about its safety. Does it have any side effects I should be aware of? Also, I've heard about Ethiglo plus tablets and I'm curious if they actually work. Can you give me some advice on this?

I've been dealing with allergic eruptions ever since I was a kid. Recently, I found out I have psoriasis and eczema on my joints like my ankles, elbows, and knees. My IgE levels are pretty high at 1700. I regularly take Allegra 120 and Montair LC which help a bit, but nothing seems to truly work. I'm in a tough spot and dont know what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to manage or reduce these issues? I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but no luck so far.

For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
