It's hard to say how fast your hair grows since it depends on lot of factors like nutrition, hormones etc but on an average hair grows half inch per month

View allI'm really confused about whether I have milia or molluscum. Some doctors tell me it's molluscum, but others say it's milia, and I can't really tell what it is. Could you help explain the difference and maybe give me some tips on identifying which one I might have?
Milia and molluscum are two distinct skin conditions that can be confusing to diagnose. Milia Milia, also known as milk spots or keratin cysts, are small, white or yellowish bumps on the skin. They occur when keratin, a protein, becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface. Characteristics of milia: - Small, usually 1-2 mm in diameter - White or yellowish in color - Firm to the touch - Typically found on the face, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth - Can also occur on the arms, legs, and torso Molluscum Contagiosum Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). It leads to the formation of small, flesh-colored or pink bumps on the skin. Characteristics of molluscum contagiosum: - Small, usually 2-5 mm in diameter - Flesh-colored or pink in color - Soft to the touch - Typically found on the face, neck, arms, and legs - Can be contagious through skin-to-skin contact or sharing personal items

I've been dealing with jock itch for almost four months now and it's been driving me crazy. I've tried all sorts of meds that doctors have prescribed, like itraconazole, terbinafine, and fluconazole, but nothing's really worked. Any advice on what I should do next? Feel like I'm running out of options here.
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've been dealing with some intense redness on my face after using skinlite cream for a couple of days. My dermatologist suggested momivate cream which has 0.1% mometasone furoate. Is it okay to leave this cream on overnight? I'm also worried because my skin is really oily and prone to acne. Could using this cream cause more acne? Would really appreciate your advice.
Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.
