Question

I've been dealing with this stubborn fungal infection for almost 45 months now. It's between my legs near the private area and on my buttocks. Initially, it started as red patches but then turned white. My friend, who's a doctor, suggested I try IT Mac 100 tablets and ketonate cream. After sticking to this treatment for 15 days, though, the itchiness is just as bad as before. It's driving me crazy and is super annoying. Can you recommend something more effective?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, but based on your symptoms, a suitable treatment might include oral antifungals like Fluconazole (150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks) or Itraconazole (100mg twice a day for 2-4 weeks), combined with topical antifungals like Clotrimazole or Miconazole cream, and practicing good hygiene

I'm 29 years old and my skin has a wheatish tone. I've got a lot of tan and some dark spots on my face. Basically, I'm looking to add some brightness and glow. I've heard about Kojiglo cream. Do you think it's a good idea for me to use it, or are there any side effects I should be worried about?

I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing premature greying of my hair for about a year now. Is there any way this can be treated or reversed? It's making me feel a bit self-conscious. Any advice would be appreciated!
