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?

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.

I'm really worried about my hair fall and I'm wondering which tablet could help with controlling it and maybe even assist in regrowing my hair. I've heard about H Vit Forte and Keraglo Eva, but I'm not sure if they're good options. Could you tell me how effective they are and how long I might need to take them?

Both H Vit Forte and Keraglo Eva are good options for controlling hair fall and promoting hair regrowth. H Vit Forte contains biotin, essential vitamins, and minerals which are beneficial for hair health. Keraglo Eva contains keratin, antioxidants, and vitamins which also help in improving hair quality. You can take either of these tablets for at least 3-6 months to see noticeable results. Consistency is key when taking these supplements for hair health. Remember to follow the recommended dosage as per the instructions on the packaging or as advised by your healthcare provider.

I've been on isotretinoin for a few months, and I'm in my 5th month now. My doctor upped my dose to 20 mg twice daily 'cause it wasn't working much initially. But now, after about 45 days, my hair's gotten thinner, and when I was checking out some videos on isotretinoin's side effects, someone mentioned it could cause erectile dysfunction. Since hearing that, I've started experiencing it too, and it's been happening for the past 5 days. Its stressing me out and affecting my mood. I havent told my doctor about the erection issue, but my dose got cut back to just 20 mg a day. Besides that, I'm also dealing with a stomach ache, digestion issues, testicular discomfort, and dryness in my throat, eyes, and lips. Im super confused and anxious about continuing isotretinoin. Could it really be the cause? What should I do? Your guidance could really help me out.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
