Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient has shown some improvement, so she should keep using the product if she wants to maintain the results, since stopping treatment will result in hair loss in a few months. Finasteride and 5 minoxidil are not approved for women.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This patient has contact dermatitis related to contact with a chemical. Topical glucocorticoids may be used for the itching. Calamine lotion may contain diphenhydramine and is used mainly for contact with plant irritants. A topical diphenhydramine is not recommended because of an increased risk of allergic reaction to systemic diphenhydramine. Systemic glucocorticoids are used for more severe reactions.
