View allI've been dealing with a fungal infection for a month, so I went to see a skin doctor who gave me Eberconazole tablets and cream, but also Cetrizine HCl tablets. Interestingly, I've also been having a runny nose and sneezing for the past 23 days, which I didn't mention to the doctor, but they somehow ended up addressing it. I'm curious if there's a connection between sneezing, a runny nose, and fungal infections. When I skip the Cetrizine, my sneezing and runny nose come back. I've tried searching online but can't find anything. Is there really a link between these symptoms and fungal infections?
Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon or an endocrinologist for personalized advice and guidance. They will assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment.

I'm really concerned because I've been losing hair from my scalp, body, and even my public hair for the past eight months. It all seemed to start when I was diagnosed with acid reflux and began taking the medication the doctor prescribed. I only took them for two days before I noticed the hair loss. On top of that, I've been dealing with dandruff for the last five years. Could this hair loss be related to the meds I was taking or maybe the dandruff, scalp psoriasis, or even a deficiency or something else entirely? The medicines I was prescribed were Picotex syrup, Tricaine MPS gel, Orypan DSR, Arcalion tab, Orycobal cap, and Biopride cap. Any idea what's going on?

I'm looking to try a Glutathione soap here in India and I'm curious about which brand you might recommend as the best. Also, I'm a bit concerned about whether there are any side effects I need to watch out for. My skin tends to be quite dry, so I'm also wondering if it's safe and suitable for someone with dry skin. Would love to hear your thoughts!
There are several popular Glutathione soaps available in India, such as Gluta-C Intense Whitening Soap, Belo Essentials Intensive Whitening Bar, and Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. These soaps are known for their skin brightening and antioxidant properties. As for side effects, some people may experience mild irritation, dryness, or redness when using Glutathione soap. It is important to do a patch test before using it regularly to check for any allergic reactions. Dry-skinned individuals can still use Glutathione soap, but it is recommended to follow up with a moisturizer to prevent further dryness. Additionally, using a gentle and hydrating soap can help maintain skin moisture levels. Remember to use the soap as directed and discontinue use if you experience any adverse reactions.
