I have a fungal infection that's spreading from my feet to my hands and even my elbow. It's getting worse daily, and I'm really worried. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?

It sounds like you may have a fungal infection that is spreading. To treat this, you can use an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream. Apply the cream twice a day on the affected areas, including the feet, hands, and elbows. Make sure to keep the areas clean and dry before applying the cream. If the infection does not improve or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've got some Biotique Ayurvedic products like hair masks, face packs, and skin polishers that have been unopened for about 4 years. They were manufactured from October 2015 to September 2016, and they say they expire 3 years from the manufacturing date. Is it okay to use them now? I've heard that Ayurvedic products don't really expire. What do you think?

I've got a healthy weight, but my cheeks are super thin, and it just doesn't look great. I'm sticking to a nutritious diet, doing pranayama, and keeping up with exercise, but my cheeks still look really thin. How can I get fuller cheeks and glowing skin? I'm not dealing with any diseases or anything. Any advice?

I'm 22 and I'm really worried about my hair turning gray so quickly. I've heard about this product called Melatine Altris 5 and was wondering if it could help with my premature graying. It feels like every day more of my hair turns gray, and now almost half of it is gray. Do you think Melatine Altris 5 could work for me, or is there something else I should try? I'm really hoping to find a solution for this.

That could be premature greying of hair which is reversible,no need to worry consume balanced diet and maintain healthy life style.
