View allI've been losing a lot of hair recently and even noticed some bald spots. My doctor, Nimesh Shah, prescribed me MBSON SL 1500mg to take every morning for the past 15 days. I'm really hoping this will help with the hair fall. Can you tell if this will actually work for me?

I'm a bit worried about a situation with my left groin. It started itching a lot today and I noticed there's hard skin peeling off. I took some of it off but now there's this painful red patch where the skin was. My right groin seems totally fine though. Could this be something serious, or do you think it might clear up on its own?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection in your left groin area. You can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed these super tiny holes on my palms and the bottoms of my feet. On my palms, they're mostly aligned with the lines, which makes my skin feel kind of rough. There's no pain or anything, but it's not looking great and my skin's not smooth because of it. Do you have any suggestions for an ointment or treatment that might help get rid of these?
