I'm dealing with really rough and frizzy hair right now and I'm thinking about getting a keratin treatment. But I've also got a lot of dandruff at the moment. Is it a bad idea to go ahead with the keratin treatment while I'm dealing with dandruff, or should I wait until it clears up? Also, does a keratin treatment lead to any hair loss? Would love some advice.

I'm really struggling with acne, and it's been going on for about two years now. It's like, just when I think it's getting better and clears up, it flares back up and gets worse again after some days. It's so frustrating. I really need some advice or help on this. Why does this keep happening, and what can I do to finally get rid of it?

-It sounds like you're dealing with persistent acne. I recommend a consistent skincare routine with gentle products, and consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, like topical or oral medications, to manage flare-ups.

I've been experiencing some really intense itching on my fingers and toes, and I just found out it's Dyshidrotic eczema. Do you have any treatment suggestions or tips on how to manage this condition? It's been really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.

Dyshidrotic eczema can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream applied twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by once daily for 2 weeks. In addition, you can use emollients like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to keep the skin moisturized. If the itching is severe, you can take oral antihistamines such as Loratadine 10mg once daily. If there is any sign of infection, antibiotics like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary.
