Dealing with dry, flaky skin on various parts of the body, coupled with hair loss and pigmentation issues, can be frustrating. It looks like you were advised by a doctor that you may have conditions like eczema and dandruff. Treatments given to you, like a moisturizer and a topical ointment, are fairly standard for such issues, indicating they might be aiming to hydrate the skin and manage inflammation or irritation. Eczema is known for causing dry and flaky skin, and could explain your symptoms around the nose, chin, and ears. Meanwhile, dandruff (often seborrheic dermatitis) commonly affects the scalp but can extend to facial areas. Both conditions are inflammatory, often requiring ongoing management. Using the prescribed vesens moisturizer should help by replenishing skin moisture and repairing the natural barrier, reducing flakiness. It’s essential to apply it multiple times daily — especially after washing your face or showering. The Tripin Plus ointment might contain a corticosteroid or other anti-inflammatory ingredients, useful for calming the skin and decreasing redness and itching when applied according to your doctor’s instructions — typically just on spots where the flare-ups occur. Another thing to consider is your hair care routine, as this can affect hair loss and regrowth. Using a gentle, non-drying shampoo and avoiding hot water can reduce irritation on the scalp. For dandruff, over-the-counter medicated shampoos containing ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione can help manage flaky and itchy scalp. Following a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals (like zinc and iron), and omega-3 fatty acids supports hair growth and skin health. Keep stress levels in check as they can exacerbate these conditions. If you notice any of your symptoms worsening or not improving with treatment, or if other symptoms (such as severe itching or skin discoloration) arise, a follow-up with your doctor or a dermatologist is advisable. Identifying the exact cause of skin or hair issues can sometimes require further investigation. Making these lifestyle adjustments alongside your current treatment plan could potentially provide relief and improve your symptoms.
