My wife had skin grafting surgery on her hands and neck after a fire accident before we got married. The doctor recommended melalite xl cream and brite cream, but I'm wondering if there are better treatments to help her skin return to its original state faster. She's really struggling mentally because of this are there other options that could work better for her?

Outcome after burns depends on the severity. In mild (superficial) and moderate (partial thickness) burn skin usually heals without scarring. But in severe (full thickness) burns all layers of skin are damaged resulting in permanent scars. I am assuming that your wife had sustained severe burns which is treated by skin grafting. Apart from scar hyper pigmentation is another complication of burns. If this what you consulted the Dermatologist then the medications you mentioned do help to improve the appearance. Whether any other medications are indicated in your wife's case depends on the proper assessment. Next Steps You should continue these creams at least for 2-3 months to assess the response of treatment. Health Tips You can consult another skin specialist for second opinion if you are not completely satisfied with the first consultation.

View allI used a zalim lotion about 45 minutes ago, and now my skin is burning. Is this normal? What should I do to relieve the burning?
If you are experiencing burning sensation on your skin after using a lotion, it is possible that you may be having an allergic reaction or irritation to one of the ingredients in the lotion. I recommend washing the affected area with mild soap and water to remove the lotion. You can apply a soothing cream like calamine lotion or aloe vera gel to help with the burning sensation. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief.

I'm dealing with this dry and rough skin issue on my back, right around my spine. The rough patches are starting to spread out over more of my back, and it gets really itchy if I don't apply any skin cream like Fourderm. What's going on, and should I be worried about it spreading further?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been using mx2 solution and Hairgro serum on and off for a year, and they worked well for a while. But recently, I've noticed a lot of hair loss again over the past couple of months. Could the medication be causing this? Should I stop using it? And do you think it'll get worse if I stop?
