Question

I'm really concerned about my hair situation lately. Over the past two months, I've been losing more hair than usual, and my scalp has started to show through. Also, I've noticed a couple of black spots on my scalp. I'm really hoping you can offer some advice on how I can deal with these spots and also prevent any further hair loss. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

You can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can help promote hair growth. For the black spots on your scalp, you can use ketoconazole shampoo twice a week to help with any fungal infections that may be causing the spots. If the black spots persist, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Question

Is it okay to use Evion 600 Mg Vitamin E capsules on my face and hair? I'm considering taking one daily as well. Are there any side effects I should know about? I just got over chicken pox and have some scars, plus I've always had issues with acne. Is this a safe remedy for my situation?

Question

I've been trying to deal with my whiteheads and ended up squeezing my nose really hard. Now, a couple of days later, I've got these broken capillaries and pigmented skin. What topical creams or treatments would you suggest to help with this?

Question

I'm pretty worried because I've had this small lump in my groin for about 6 weeks now. Initially, a general surgeon thought it was just a local infection and suggested applying follicilin, which I did for 5 weeks, but the lump didn't reduce in size. Then I saw another doctor who diagnosed it as tinea cruris fungal infection and prescribed Forcan 150 and quadriderm. He mentioned it should heal in 5 days, but it's been 5 days and there's no change. I'm concerned about why it's not healing. Do you think I need a different treatment or should I consult yet another doctor for a second opinion?
