I've got these dandruff issues and my doctor gave me diprovate plus cream, but I'm a bit confused on how to use it on my scalp. Do I need to wash it off after applying, and could it mess with my hair in any way? I'm just trying to figure out the right way to apply it.

I'm a 36-year-old woman currently on antidepressants, and lately, I've been experiencing some pretty severe hair fall. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to take Xtraglo tablets? I know they contain something called methylsulfonylmethane. Is that safe for me to use, considering my current medication? Would love some advice on this.

Yes you can use it,but reason for hair fall needs to be ruled out,visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I recently shaved my head, something I haven't done since childhood, and now I'm seeing these white patches all over my scalp. It's really gross and embarrassing. I've had dandruff issues before, but this looks different. What could this be, and how can I get rid of it permanently? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with a lot of black spots and some acne on my face. I use Clinsol gel from Lee Ford Medicines, but I really want clear skin. My skin tends to be oily, so I'm wondering if you could recommend a good cream or face wash that might help?
