I've had my hair smoothened twice, and now I'm noticing bald patches and a lot of hair fall. I also have PCOD, so I'm really worried if that could be making things worse. Could the treatments have caused this, or is it more related to my PCOD? What can I do to improve my hair health?

I'm dealing with scalp psoriasis and my dermatologist recommended I use Halox S lotion. I'm a bit confused about the right order of things. Should I be shampooing my hair before I put on the lotion, or is it better to shampoo after rinsing the lotion out?

Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?

A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.

I've been using Panderm NM cream for the past six months, and I'm really worried about stopping it. Can you help me figure out a way to stop using it without dealing with any side effects? I'm just not sure how to transition off it safely.

It is not recommended to abruptly stop using Panderm NM cream as it may lead to withdrawal effects or rebound symptoms. It is advisable to gradually taper off the use of this cream. You can start by reducing the frequency of application and then eventually stop using it. Additionally, you can switch to a milder steroid cream like Eumovate cream for a smoother transition. Consult your healthcare provider for a proper tapering schedule and further guidance.
