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.

I'm from Delhi and I've been dealing with hives for a while now. I'm currently taking Allegra for them, but I'm curious about homeopathy treatments for critical hives. Do you think it's worth exploring homeopathic options, or should I just stick with what I'm doing?

-For treating critical hives with homeopathy, it's important to consult a homeopathic doctor who can tailor remedies to your specific symptoms. While Allegra helps manage hives, a personalized homeopathic approach may address the root cause more effective

I'm really confused about which cream to use for fairness. I've come across a few options like Kojivit gel, Kojivit plus, Kojivit ultra, and demelan cream. Can you help me figure out which one might be the best choice for better results?

Kojivit gel for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I'm really worried about a mole on my forehead near my eyebrows. It's been inflamed, and there's a red area around it. I've noticed pus coming out, and even though I've squeezed it a couple of times, the pus just keeps coming back. I've tried using tea tree oil and medications like nicotinamide and clindamycin, but nothing seems to be helping. Could there be a chance it's something serious, possibly cancerous?

That needs Physical examination,visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
