I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She's had this white spot on her nose for about a month now. Do you think it's something I should be concerned about? Could it be a skin issue or something else?

White spot on your daughter's nose could be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks. If it does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Question

I'm a bit worried about the long-term use of Minoz ER 65. I've been taking it for over a year and I'm curious about any side effects I should be aware of. Also, do you think I need to take any supplement tablets along with it?

Question

I'm curious if masturbating a lot could increase DHT levels in my body and lead to hair loss. I'm 16 and usually do it about three times a day. Is this something I should be worried about?

Question

I've been using Betnovate N for about 7-8 years, but whenever I stop, I get these rashes, redness, and itching on my face. I've seen a skin specialist who first gave me Momisoft cream and Uvrid NF sunscreen, along with some tablets for 10 days. That seemed to help, then he switched me to Lutica and the same sunscreen for another 15 days, and it was working well. When I was in Rajasthan, he gave me Desolim cream and the sunscreen, and my skin was fine there. But now I've moved to Guwahati where it's more humid, and the rashes and redness are back. I saw a specialist here and he prescribed Eumosone and other tablets like CFM 500mg, Candimore, Mantrayx, and Lpredace 8mg, but they don't seem to be helping either. The itching and redness are still there, and I'm really desperate to fix this. What should I do to finally get rid of these skin issues?
