I've seen my dad use Sofradex cream for his psoriasis, and he's had good results with it. I'm 19 and struggling with a lot of pimples on my face and neck. Is it okay for me to use the same cream for my pimples? I'm not sure if it's suitable, and I'd really like to get my skin looking better. What do you think?

I've been using kojic acid cream that my doctor recommended, and it worked well for my skin. Now I'm dealing with some pimple marks on my face. I'm thinking about trying melaglow. Is it okay to switch to melaglow, or should I stick with what I was using?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I have a pyogenic granuloma on my scalp and I've attached a picture. Just wondering if it's harmful to leave it as it is or if it could be something serious like cancer. Also, are there any treatments I can try at home since I'm really nervous about surgery?

A pyogenic granuloma is a noncancerous growth of blood vessels on the skin, and it's generally harmless. While it's not a serious condition like cancer, it can be treated by a doctor, and leaving it unattended may lead to bleeding, ulceration, or cosmetic concerns. Home treatments are generally not recommended, and surgical removal is the most common treatment.

I'm really concerned about my hair loss and heard that hijama wet cupping might help remove DHT from the scalp. Could this actually work for hair loss? Would love to know if it's a viable option or just a myth.

Hijama (wet cupping) has limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in removing DHT from the scalp or curing hair loss, and its benefits are largely anecdotal,
