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 really worried because I recently moved to Hyderabad and my hair's been falling out a lot. I heard it's because the water in my apartment is really hard, from bore water. I put in a shower filter and used it once, but my hair is still falling out like crazy when I comb it. What else can I do to stop this or at least fix the damage? Can you help?

I'm dealing with this jock itch, also known as daad, and it's really bothering me. I've attached some pics for you to see. I've tried using Ring Gard Aloe Vera cream and even Nycil, but nothing seems to help. Could you let me know what this is and what I should do about it?
