I'm really confused about why my doctor prescribed desonide for my hair loss and dandruff issues. Can it actually help with hair regrowth, or is it just for treating the dandruff? I'm worried because I didn't expect this kind of treatment for hair problems. Could you help me understand how desonide fits into this?

I've been dealing with this itchy skin at the back of my knees for like 15 years now, and it's left me with dark scars because I can't help but scratch. A dermatologist gave me a lotion, oatmeal soap, and some antihistamine about 3 years ago. It all worked while I used it for 3 months, but once I stopped, the problem came back. What can I do to make this itchiness go away for good?
