View allI've been dealing with some itchy spots around my bikini line and butt, and I've tried using itch guard cream and candid dusting powder, which helped at first, but the itching keeps coming back. Just the other day, I noticed I have some ringworm on my thighs too. I'm really frustrated and worried about why these things keep happening. What can I do to stop this once and for all?
You've been taking Rablet-D (Rabeprazole + Domperidone) for 20 years to manage severe burning and acidity after food.

I'm wondering if clindamycin phosphate gel works well for oily, acne-prone skin. I tried it because a doctor recommended it to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I checked with a dermatologist in Jaipur who mentioned that it might not be effective due to hormonal changes, especially since I recently got married. Does that sound right to you? Is there something else I should consider?
yes hormonal changes. COntinue clindamycin phosphate gel.

I'm thinking about starting minoxidil for my male pattern baldness, but I'm worried about what happens if I stop using it. Will all the new hair I grow just fall out, and will my original hair shed faster than usual? I really want to understand this before I decide. Can you help clarify this for me?
