View allIs there really a chance to regrow hair with PRP treatment? Ive had one session already and I'm not noticing any difference. Should I be concerned, or is it too soon to expect results?
-PRP can help in some cases, but results often take 3-6 months and multiple sessions. Stick with the plan, and discuss other options with your doctor if progress feels slow.

Are acne scars permanent?
That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I've been having this recurring issue with ringworm or maybe it's jock itch on my inner thighs. I first tried using clobetasol cream, then switched to dexoderm to avoid clobetasol, but I realized that dexoderm has clobetasol propionate too. It keeps giving me relief but it never really goes away completely. I recently started using ebernet cream and taking terbinafine 250 mg tablets. It's only been a week, but I think the redness is coming back and it's even spread to my glans. I dont have any itching right now, but Im worried its returning. Plus, the side effects from the tablets are a lot and I'm starting to feel some of them. Any advice on what I should do?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, as you may need to adjust your treatment plan, and in the meantime, continue using the ebernet cream and terbinafine tablets as directed, while monitoring side effects and fungal infection symptoms.
