I'm currently using Perfectil for skin, hair, and nails, as my dermatologist recommended. It's been about a month, and I've got really weak nails, some gaps in my eyebrows, and my skin isn't looking too healthy. Plus, my eyebrow color seems duller. I've been taking one tablet every morning, but I haven't seen any real changes yet. Can you suggest a better supplement than Perfectil?

Is there any way to treat or manage macular amyloidosis? I've seen quite a few dermatologists, but they all told me there's no cure, and the medications they gave me didn't seem to help. Could you provide any insight or advice on this?

Unfortunately, there is currently no definitive cure for macular amyloidosis. However, topical treatments such as Tacrolimus ointment can help improve the appearance of the affected skin. You can apply Tacrolimus ointment twice daily to the affected areas as prescribed by your dermatologist. Additionally, phototherapy with Narrowband UVB light may also be beneficial in some cases. It is important to follow your dermatologist's recommendations for the best management of macular amyloidosis.

My fianc has been dealing with these itchy rashes around his thighs, butt, and even on his penis for about four months now and it's really starting to get him down. He tried using some medicine for a fungal infection but it hasn't helped. It all began with these ring-like scars, then more turned up looking like pimples, and now there're rashes that resemble scratch marks. Since we're getting married in March 2018, we're both pretty worried. Does anyone have any advice on what we should do?

I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper evaluation, as there could be an underlying issue such as eczema, psoriasis, or a different fungal infection. Early treatment can help manage the symptoms and provide relief.
