Question 1

I've been dealing with dandruff and a really itchy scalp for a long time now, and it seems to be getting worse. Over the past two years, I've noticed a significant amount of hair shedding. A few doctors have diagnosed me with seborrheic dermatitis, but nothing seems to be helping.

Accepted Answer

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Question 2

Ive been dealing with an itchy scalp for a while now, so I visited a skin specialist. The doctor prescribed 3 different medicated shampoos to use alternately, along with Onabet SD lotion and Onabet lotion. I wanted to know if its okay to use MINTOP 5...

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use MINTOP 5% on the days when you are not using Onabet lotions. Make sure to apply MINTOP 5% solution to the scalp once a day, preferably in the evening. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after applying the solution and avoid getting it in your eyes.

Question 3

My hair was falling a lot recently, but after I started oiling and massaging my scalp, the hair loss has almost stopped. Now, I only lose about 4-5 hairs a day. Im 19, and I still have some bald patches. Is there any way I can help those areas grow back?

Question 5

I had leech bites few months back. I tried applying boroline regularly but its still not going away. It feels itchy every now and then. Not very troubling but still it's been quite some time now

Accepted Answer

Seems like the leech bites may have caused some irritation and itching. To help with the healing process and alleviate the itching, you can try applying an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for about a week. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Claritin can also help with the itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
