So, about two months ago, I had a scab on my nose, and after it peeled off, the skin underneath turned pink. It's been two months now, and the pink skin hasn't changed back to its natural color. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do, or is it just a matter of time before the skin tone evens out?

I've been dealing with a really oily scalp and it's causing a lot of hair fall. It's quite concerning. Someone suggested Kevon lotion for this condition, seborrheic dermatitis. Is it really effective? Can I use it without worrying about any side effects? Would love to hear some advice!
