Can Soframycin be used on facial pimples? Will there be any effects if I try it on a pimple? I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this.

View allI've been dealing with this jock rash and tried putting vinegar on it, but now my skin's peeling. Should I be worried about this reaction? Is there something else I should do to make it better?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm a bit worried about my hair situation, specifically on the top and crown area. I've attached a picture for reference. Will using Minoxidil 5% help with this, and also, can it bring back my receding hairline? I'm really looking for some advice here.
An increase in resting heart rate from 60 BPM to 88 BPM without any significant changes in medication, exercise, or diet may indicate an underlying issue. It is recommended to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In some cases, medications such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate. The usual dosage for Metoprolol for heart rate control is 25-100 mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor.
