Question

I've been struggling with this annoying itch around my groin and inside of my buttocks for about three weeks now. I started taking canditral, which seemed to help, but it made me really sleepy. I also tried sebifin 250, but I'm still not sure if it's working. What could be causing this itch, and should I continue with the same medication or try something else? I'm a bit worried about the side effects too.

Question

I'm noticing these weird rashes popping up on my chest and back. They have a round shape and seem scaly in the middle. There's a bit of a reddish tint, and my skin is actually peeling from these spots. I'm really worried about what kind of infection this might be. Could you tell me more about it and suggest any medications I should consider?

Question

I've been dealing with hair loss since I had dengue a few months ago. My hair used to be thick and healthy, but now I'm losing so much daily, and it's really thinning out. I read that this could be due to the telogen effluvium phase and that it might stop on its own after a couple of months. Is there any medication or supplements I can take to help reduce the hair fall faster? I'm really concerned about it.
