Can you recommend a cream that actually helps get rid of stretch marks? I've tried a few, but nothing seems to work. I'd really appreciate the name of a good one if you have any suggestions.

View allI stopped using the 10% Minoxidil for a couple of months because of some personal reasons. I'm thinking about starting it again, but I'm a bit concerned if this break will affect how well it works. Could you let me know what to expect?
Hi Prasad, if you have stopped applying 10% Minoxidil for two months and want to start using it again, there may be a temporary decrease in effectiveness initially. However, with consistent and continued use, you should start to see results again. Remember to apply 10% Minoxidil twice daily as directed for optimal results.

I'm a bit worried about having molluscum contagiosum in my private area. Is it considered dangerous, or can it be treated without any medical intervention? If treatment is needed, what are the best ways to treat molluscum?
Molluscum contagiosum in the private area is not usually dangerous but can be bothersome. Treatment options include topical medications such as imiquimod cream or podophyllotoxin solution. In some cases, cryotherapy or curettage may be necessary to remove the lesions. For oral treatment, cimetidine may be prescribed in some cases. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been sticking around for about three years. I'm really into non-veg food, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to continue eating it with my condition. If it's fine, could you suggest what kind of non-veg options would be best for me? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice!
There is no indication that you are not supposed to eat non veg if you have Fungal infection,avoid foods that your allergic to, otherwise you can have nonveg food of your choice but in a healthy way and limited quantity.
