Suggest Treatment For Severe Dandruff Problem Along With Pimples On Back
Question: Hi...I have dandruff problem and pimples on back of my body and hand with white flakes. My dermatologist suggested me to use kz lotion for hair and cleargel cream for skin. please let me know whether i can use oil while using the kz lotion and is there any side effect of using cleargel cream as i am taking oral contraceptive pills (Ovral L) right now??
Brief Answer:
Dandruff :avoid oil
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
It is better to avoid using oil when applying anti dandruff medicines .Even otherwise,oil application has to be minimal in cases of dandruff.
As far as acne treatment is concerned ,you can surely continue with application of clear gel cream since it will not interact or have any effect on ocp's.

Brief Answer:
Method of medicine use
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
You can use kz lotion twice a week .
Apply it all over hair especially scalp area ,leave it for five to ten minutes and then wash hair with your normal shampoo .
Avoid oil application as much as possible .
You can apply biluma cream first over the pigmented areas twice daily and after s gap of atleast half an hour ,you can apply venusia cream over it .

Brief Answer:
Can stop medicines once dandruff improves
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Yes you can stop its application once the dandruff goes completely.
You can then start using any anti dandruff shampoo once weekly so as to prevent recurrence .
