Question

I'm dealing with tinea cruris and I've been using Fixtral and Lulifin. After a few days, I've noticed my skin turning white and starting to peel off. Is this a normal reaction? Should I be concerned?

Moisturize: Use a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep the affected skin hydrated and reduce the peeling. Observe the Area: If the peeling is mild and the area seems to be improving, it may just be part of the healing process. However, if you notice increased redness, blisters, or severe irritation, you may need to stop the treatment and see a healthcare professional. Follow-up: Its a good idea to check back with your doctor if the peeling is persistent or bothersome, or if the condition doesnt seem to be improving after a week or two.

Question

I'm curious if eflora eflorithine hydrochloride cream 13.9% really helps with reducing facial hair growth or just makes the hair look thinner. I've already gone through 4 or 5 laser sessions, but instead of getting better, my facial hair actually seems worse now. I'm using the cream every day, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Would love some advice on what to do next.

I'm really worried about my hair loss and it seems like Minoxidil has some side effects and you have to take it for life. But I've been trying this Well Grow anti-hair loss serum and nothing's happeningmy hair's still falling out. What's going on? Should I keep using it, and for how long do you think it's safe? And does it have similar side effects to Minoxidil?

Question

I'm really confused about something. Every time I drink alcohol or eat non-veg food, the area with my fungal infection gets super itchy and red. My doctor said alcohol isnt the cause, but I've heard from people that it might mean there's something wrong with my liver. Could that be true? What should I do about it?
