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'm dealing with some serious hair fall and hair loss, and I'm currently on isotretinoin for my acne. I'm worried because the hair fall is getting really bad, and I'm afraid I might go bald soon. I can't stop the acne treatment because it's severe, but is there anything I can do about the hair loss? Can isotretinoin be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.
there is no such relation between isotretinoin and hairfall infact it indirectly helps in nourishing your hair,there are many causes for hairfall, visit your dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate tretament, consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair and skin.

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?
Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.
