I've just used erythego gel for the first time, as my doctor recommended. Initially, it seemed to work because the redness disappeared for a few hours. But after I washed my face, my cheeks started burning and turned red again. Can you tell me what's going on? How often should I be using this gel? I'd really appreciate some advice!

I've been having this horrible itching that started in my hands, feet, and vaginal area about a week ago. I took levocetirizine for four days, and though it seemed to help a bit, the itching came back around day three. Now its spread to my upper back and chest. It's really uncomfortable and bothering me a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and what I can do to relieve this itching?

Since you have already taken levocetirizine without much relief, I recommend trying a different antihistamine such as Fexofenadine (Allegra) or Hydroxyzine (Avil). Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing Calamine to the itchy areas for relief. If the itching persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my hair loss, which seems to be from a crash diet I went on. My dermatologist recommended using both Q Sera and Minoxidil. I'm wondering if it's safe and effective to use them together in my situation? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Yes you can use them,follow your doctors advice,and also consume balanced diet

Can I wash my hair daily with water only?

Yes, there is no harm in washing hair daily with plain treated water but prefer cold water. You need to check for excess chlorine or bleach in water which may cause dryness and split ends on repeated exposure.
