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've been dealing with white bumps on my back and front area after waxing, and it's been about three days now. They're painful and super itchy. Do you have any advice on what might help?
You may be experiencing folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin.

I'm really worried because my hair is getting thinner every day due to hair loss. My sister suggested trying Keraglo Eva tablets, but I'm unsure if they're okay for women to use or if they're just for men. Can you give me some advice on this?
Keraglo Eva tablet is suitable for both men and women. It is a combination of biotin, folic acid, minerals, and amino acids that help in reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth.

Can I use Mediker or other shampoos to treat lice in my hair while I'm breastfeeding my 2-month-old son? I'm a little worried about how it might affect him. Could using such products be harmful to my baby?
It is not recommended to use Mediker or any other lice treatment shampoos while breastfeeding. These products contain chemicals that can be harmful to your baby. Instead, you can use a fine-toothed comb to remove the lice and their eggs manually. Additionally, you can consult with your healthcare provider for safe and effective treatment options that are compatible with breastfeeding.
