Is there a different brand I can use instead of Dipsalic lotion? Also, are betamethasone and clobetasol basically the same thing when they're used as a lotion on the scalp with salicylic acid? Just trying to figure out if there's a suitable alternative or if they work differently.

View allI've noticed that I have quite a few lipomas, or koluppu katti, on my hand, around 20 of them. Can you tell me how I could get these removed? Any advice would be really helpful.

I put Colgate gel toothpaste on my face and it burned my skin. My first doctor had me use Calapure for about two weeks. Then I switched to another doctor who prescribed me Dosenide and Taiyu Skin Cream. Now I'm supposed to use Taiyu Skin Cream day and night and Uniwhite during the noon. It's been a month and I'm still waiting for my spotless skin to come back. Can you tell me how long it might take to see improvements? I'm really hoping to get my clear skin back soon.
Initial improvement could be seen within 2-3 weeks of starting the treatment. Full recovery and returning to your normal skin tone might take a few months, especially if the irritation was severe. Consistency is key. Stick to the regimen your doctor prescribed and be patient.

I'm really struggling with lice and nits in my hair. I used Mediker shampoo but there are still some left even after one wash. Is it okay to use it more than once a week? How long should I wait between washes if I want to use it again?
For effective lice and nit removal, Mediker shampoo can be used again after a gap of 7-10 days, as the second application helps kill any newly hatched lice; however, always follow the product instructions and consult a doctor or dermatologist for personalized advice, as overusing the shampoo can lead to scalp irritation and dryness.
