I've got these small, painful acne spots all over my scalp that just appeared out of nowhere yesterday. It's really worrying me. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I've attached an image for more details.

View allI'm experiencing dryness and severe itching in the pubic hair area, especially at night. It's becoming really uncomfortable, and I have no idea what's causing it or how to treat it. Could it be something serious, and what would you recommend I do to alleviate these symptoms?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

Is there any way to fix the side effects of Betnovate cream? I've been using it on my face for about 6 months and had no idea it was such a strong steroid cream. It's been two years and the side effects are still bothering me. I can't even look at myself in the mirror because my face is completely red and covered with acne up to my neck. I tried IPL last winter, but it didn't make any difference. My face is also super dry now. I'm considering PRP, but I'm not sure if it's the right way to go. Any advice?
The prolonged use of Betnovate cream, a potent topical corticosteroid, can lead to severe side effects like redness, acne, dryness, and skin atrophy; to address these issues, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and potential treatments may include: topical treatments like retinoids, antibiotics, or hydroquinone; laser therapy or intense pulsed light (IPL) to reduce redness and promote collagen production; platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which may help stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture; and sun protection, moisturizers, and gentle skincare routines to manage dryness and sensitivity

I've been on tretiva for about three months, and it helped with my acne, but now I'm starting to deal with dandruff and hair fall. What can I do to get this under control?
