I have a dark spot on my scalp that was diagnosed as hyperpigmentation by a dermatologist. I have been using 2% and then 5% hydroquinone, but it hasn't worked. Another doctor suggested it might be tinea versicolor and recommended Clotrimazole cream, which also didn't improve the condition. What are the next steps for treating this dark spot on my scalp?

My 10-year-old son has been burping for 3 days, sometimes small, sometimes big. He had slight diarrhea when it started, but now his bowel movements are normal. He just finished taking amoxicillin for strep throat, and the burping started a few days after. Could the antibiotics have triggered these burps? What should I do until his doctor's appointment?

I was supposed to get my period on Thursday. On Friday, I got what I thought was my period, but it was brown, clumpy, and stopped today. I took a pregnancy test yesterday, which was negative, but I'm still worried. I am on oral contraceptives but just started this month. My last period started on August 20. When did I start taking my oral contraceptive pills, are my periods regular, and how many days do I generally bleed?

I am having dandruff issues that are itchy, flaky, and causing hair loss. I have tried various shampoos, including Ketoconazole, and home remedies like tea tree oil, but nothing seems to help. The itchiness is particularly severe around the crown area and sometimes spreads to the ears and eyebrows. I am also experiencing acne on my face where hair touches the skin. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms and find a lasting solution?
