permethrin based lotions would help to get rid of head lice, visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I've been using Mintop 10 for about a year and a half now on my dermatologist's advice, and it was working well for me. But even a short break from it seems to lead to hair loss again. My doctor recently prescribed Morr F 10 instead, but the user booklet mentions a lot of side effects stuff like sexual and cardiac issues. I'm kind of worried. Should I stick with the Morr F 10 or go back to using Mintop 10? What do you think would be best for me?

continue Morr F 10..

I'm really worried because I've got these lipid deposits around my eyes. I've been taking medication for my cholesterol, but these deposits just aren't going away. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing?

The deposits near your eyes could be xanthelasma, which are yellowish cholesterol deposits. In addition to your current cholesterol medication, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a statin medication like atorvastatin to further lower your cholesterol levels and help reduce the deposits. The dosage would depend on your specific condition, so please consult your doctor for the appropriate prescription.
