View allI'm dealing with this really annoying skin thing that seems like ring guard or something similar. It's causing a lot of itching and burning sensations. Do you have any ideas on what kind of medication might help with this?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
