I've got a patch of alopecia areata near my left ear, about the size of a 1-rupee coin, where no hair is growing. My dermatologist started me on tricort 10mg injections and gave me Morr F 5 and dicaris adults tablets. I've had the tricort injection twice now. Since I know these are steroids, I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe for me at 33 with no other health issues. Can you tell me about any long-term side effects of these treatments and if I should stick with this plan?

View allI'm really curious about how I can tell if my lipoma has completely stopped forming after I've been on homeopathic treatment. Are there specific signs I should look for, or is it something that only a doctor can confirm? I'm kinda worried because I want to make sure the treatment has actually worked and that no new growth is happening. Can you give me some guidance on what to expect or how I might notice if it's all settled down?
To confirm that your lipoma has stopped growing or forming new ones after homeopathic treatment, monitor the following: 1. Size: Measure and track the lipoma's size regularly. 2. Growth rate: Observe if the growth rate has slowed or halted. 3. New lesions: Watch for any new lipoma formations. 4. Consistency: Check if the lipoma's texture or consistency has changed. 5. Symptoms: Note any changes in symptoms like pain, tenderness, or inflammation.

I'm really struggling to find a cleanser or face wash that's gentle enough for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I need something that wont burn or irritate but can still clean my pores deeply, getting rid of all the dirt and makeup residue in just one wash. At the same time, it should be effective against my acne and pimples. Any recommendations?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
