Doctors’ responses
Persistent pimples, hair problems, and dandruff can indeed be bothersome, but they often have interconnected causes. For your acne, which has been ongoing, it might be influenced by hormonal changes, diet, stress, or an inappropriate skincare routine. Consider starting with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser twice a day and a topical treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which can help to reduce acne. It’s also beneficial to avoid picking at your pimples to minimize scarring and infections. If over-the-counter products aren’t making a difference, consult a dermatologist for potentially stronger prescription options like retinoids or antibiotics. Moving onto dandruff and hair issues, the increased flaking could be related to seborrheic dermatitis or an imbalance in the scalp’s natural microbiome. Try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione a few times a week. Make sure to leave it on your scalp for about 5 minutes to allow it to work before rinsing. Your hair getting “spoiled” may require focusing on a balanced, nutrient-rich diet; deficiencies in vitamins like B5, B12, and D can affect hair health. Ensure you’re consuming sufficient proteins and healthy fats. Lastly, hydration and reducing stress are vital parts of managing skin and hair health—stress can exacerbate acne and dandruff. If there’s no progress or things worsen, it’s important to see a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions. Always approach new treatments with patience as skin and hair can take time to show improvement.
