Milk Interaction: Biotin is water-soluble and does not typically interact negatively with milk.

Consultation: It's advisable to consult a healthcare provider before starting high-dose supplements, especially if experiencing hair loss.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and FourDerm cream helped clear it up in just a few days, but now I have about 23 spots left. One of them is a noticeably bigger red spot. Are these spots part of the healing process, or should I be worried? How long might it take for my skin to look normal again?
Atleast 4-6 weeks..
