Question

I've been hearing mixed opinions about whey protein and its link to hair loss. My dermatologist told me that my hair loss might be due to whey protein, but most of my friends who also take it haven't had any issues. Could you advise if it's really safe to keep consuming whey protein?

Whey protein is generally safe, but excessive consumption may potentially contribute to hair loss due to increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, although more research is needed to confirm this link.

Question

I've been dealing with these fungal infections in my groin for a while now, and they just keep coming back. I've already used about three tubes of COSVATE GM, but now my skin in that area looks all faded with these red patches underneath. I'm worriedwill my skin eventually get back to normal, or is this a lasting issue?

Question

I'm dealing with this issue where I've got these white pus-filled bumps on my face, and they usually come in clusters. They're not just regular pimples but are more like pus-filled lesions, and some can be pretty painful. I did a bit of research, and it seems like it might be caused by staph bacteria. I had this same problem last year and was prescribed Minoz OD and Microdox, which cleared it up back then. Really need some advice now on how I can tackle this again. Any suggestions on what I should do?
