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?

I've been experiencing some mild itching on my scrotum, but it seems to get worse at night. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to really bother me. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I can do to fix it?
Mild itching on the scrotum, especially at night, can be caused by fungal infections like jock itch, irritation from sweat, or allergic reactions. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, using antifungal creams like clotrimazole if it's fungal, and avoiding tight clothing. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've just gone through 9 sessions of laser therapy for my skin, and now I'm wondering if it's okay to use benzoyl peroxide on my face afterward. Are there any specific things I need to be cautious about after the laser treatment? Also, I've got a wedding coming up, and I'm thinking about getting a cosmetic facial about 15 days after the laser resurfacing. Do you think it'll be safe to do that?
Yes you can get it done,follow your doctors advice and consume protiene and vitamin rich foods
