Can I use Candid B cream for my 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter's small ringworm on her back and face? Is it safe, or should I try using fusidic cream instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay.

Don't use Candid B cream or Fusidic cream without consulting a pediatrician.
For ringworm, a pediatrician may recommend antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole.
Consult a pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment option for your child.

View allI've been struggling with hair fall for about 8 years now, and I've lost most of the hair on the top of my headit's mostly just the sides left. I've just started taking keraglo men tablets and evion capsules, and I'm using Dabur Amla oil for scalp massages. Do you think this will actually help my hair grow back? I'm really worried and just want to know if I'm on the right track or if there's something else I should be doing.

I'm kind of worried because I've had this red spot on my arm for about two weeks now, and it's really itchy. It seems to be getting bigger, almost like a ringworm. Any idea what might be causing this, or what I should do about it?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
