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 noticing that I seem to get rashes only at night, but by the morning they're completely gone. It's really puzzling and a bit worrying. I'm wondering what could be causing this? Is there something about night time that triggers rashes like these? Should I be concerned, or is this something that can happen normally?

Those rashes can be due to mosquito bites which usually resolves by morning. If those rashes make you uncomfortable causing itching ,irritation please consult dermatologist at the earliest . Take photos of rashes for documentation .

I'm currently using Cuticapil hair serum and have been for about 6 months. I've seen some good results, but I'm considering stopping. I'm concerned that if I stop using it, my hair might start falling out again. Can you let me know what to expect?

If you want to stop it you can stop it but rather stopping it abruptly better do ween it,like making it thrice a week later twice aweek and soo.

I'm feeling pretty concerned about hair loss and the amount of eggs I'm eating since I joined the gym. I've been consuming around 6 to 8 eggs every day. Could this be causing my hair to fall out? Should I stop eating so many eggs, or is there something else I should consider? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
