My husband has this patch on his scalp, and he's been using salisia ds ointment that his dermatologist recommended. Now the area's turned red where he's been applying the cream. What could be causing that?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Redness after applying a topical ointment is not uncommon, but its essential to monitor the reaction and seek medical advice if the irritation continues or spreads. The doctor might want to adjust the treatment plan based on his skins response.

View allI've got a patch of alopecia areata near my left ear, about the size of a 1-rupee coin, where no hair is growing. My dermatologist started me on tricort 10mg injections and gave me Morr F 5 and dicaris adults tablets. I've had the tricort injection twice now. Since I know these are steroids, I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe for me at 33 with no other health issues. Can you tell me about any long-term side effects of these treatments and if I should stick with this plan?

I'm wondering how many sessions it would take for me to achieve an even skin tone, as my face is a bit darker than my neck. Also, could you give me a rough idea of how much one injection would cost?
To achieve an even skin tone, the number of sessions required can vary depending on individual skin types and concerns. Typically, 4-6 sessions of chemical peels or laser treatment, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, may be needed to attain desired results. As for the cost, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific treatment and location, but on average, a session can range from 1,500 to 5,000 or more. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and pricing.
