Could you help me out with something? I'm a 72-year-old male dealing with ringworm on my abdomen and back. It's really itchy. I've got diabetes and I'm taking Metolar, Ecosprin, and Metformin. Is it safe for me to try taking Can 150 mg for three days for this issue? Would appreciate your advice.

View allI'm really worried about this itchy groin I've had for the past couple of years. I tried using clobenategm last month for about ten days, and it seemed to clear up, but then the itch came back worse and started burning too! Now, I'm trying candidb clotrimazole gel but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? I'm really desperate for a solution.

I had an accident around 10 years ago that left a noticeable stitch mark on my face. I'm really curious about how I might be able to hide it with makeup or if there's a way to permanently remove it. Can you give me any advice on what might work best?

I'm really curious about whether curry leaf powder can actually help with hair fall and promote hair regrowth. I've heard it's similar to curry leaf lime tea, but does it really work? Can you share any insights or experiences with it?
