Can using ketoconazole shampoo and clotrimazole skin lotion at the same time help with treating tinea capitis? I've been taking terbinafine tablets as well, and I'm curious if combining these treatments is safe or more effective.

Question

A few months ago, I used an old blade to shave my moustache at home, and it's been weird ever since. Part of my moustache isnt growing back the same. I shaved against the direction of hair growth and now there are only a few hard and black strands where it used to be fuller, plus some parts are still completely smooth. The new hair thats coming in looks lighter in color too. I'm not sure what's going on or what I should do. Could you recommend any treatments or medication?

Question

I've got these big, irregular white patches on the side and underneath my scrotum, and they've been itching like crazy. It's been going on for about 56 months, and I think it's because of the sweating. I just noticed the patches recently. Should I be worried about this?

Question

I've been using Skinlite for about six months now and I've kind of liked it so far, but I'm getting worried. Could it affect my health if I use it for too long? Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?
