I'm a 28-year-old male and I've got a fungal infection in my genital area. I've been using Onabet cream, which has Sertaconazole Nitrate in it. I've heard that nitrogen compounds can be harmful to the skin because they can break it down. Since Onabet contains a nitrate compound, I'm worried if it's actually safe to use it in such a sensitive area. Should I keep using Onabet for my condition? I'm really in need of some advice.

Question

I'm dealing with hair fall because of seborrheic dermatitis, and I'm wondering if my hair will grow back naturally once the infection gets better. Do I need to worry about getting some sort of treatment like a transplant or taking medication, or can I expect my hair to regrow on its own? If it does grow back naturally, how long would that usually take? Id really appreciate your honest advice.

Question

I've just started traveling on my own for the first time, and also began using new face creams and washes. Lately, I've been feeling a burning sensation on my skin, especially on my face, but surprisingly, there are no rashes. I'm really curious about what's causing this. Could it be related to the products, or is it something else?
