I've got a question about how I'm using my hair lotions. I put one on during the day after shampooing, and then I use a different one at night when I'm going to bed. Do I need to wash my hair again before putting on the night lotion, or can I just apply it straight away?

It is not necessary to wash your hair again before applying the second lotion at night. You can apply the second hair lotion without washing your hair again.

My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

I've been using Panderm Plus cream for over a year, but I would stop and start using it again. Initially, my skin was clear, but then I started getting one or two pimples. I saw a doctor who told me to stop using the cream because it has steroids. Now I'm using Derma Dew soap and Kojic cream for the pimple marks. I'm really worried about the effects of the steroid on my skin. Can you tell me more about the side effects, and will the new products help with the pimple marks?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm 31 years old and I've noticed a fatty tissue under my right armpit. It's not a lipoma, so I'm not sure what it is or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure out what steps to take next?
