Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Shampoo which contain active ingredients like pyrithione ,zinc, selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, salicylic acid, and coal tar can work to reduce dandruff. since there are many underlying reasons(as simple as stress) it is better to take an expert opinion first before using OTC shampoos

I've been getting a lot of pimples and bumps on my cheeks and forehead lately, and it's really bothering me. I tried using Aclind BP 5 gel once a day at night and kept it on for about 3 to 4 hours before washing it off and applying moisturizer. It's been just three days, but my skin's turned red, and there's this itchiness and slight burning. I'm worried if I should stop using it? Any suggestions on how to get rid of these pimples?

I'm a bit concerned about using Mela Clear cream. My doctor recommended it to me, but I'm worried about any potential side effects it might have in the future. Should I go ahead and use the cream, or could it cause issues later on?

Mela Clear cream is a topical cream that is commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. It contains a combination of ingredients such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. When used as directed by your doctor, Mela Clear cream can be effective in improving skin tone and reducing dark spots. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and not exceed the recommended dosage, as prolonged use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. If you experience any adverse reactions while using Mela Clear cream, it is important to discontinue use and consult your doctor for further guidance.
