I have these Fordyce spots on my upper lips and I'm really worried. Is there any treatment or medicine that can help with that? Also, I've noticed my lower lip is a lot larger than my upper one, and it's really bothering me. What can I do to fix this, and any idea about the cost?

I'm really struggling with jock itch that started on my groin and buttock area about 4 months ago. Now it's spreading like athlete's foot, and it's getting really frustrating. I've tried several treatments Quadriderm for the first couple of weeks and then Itch Guard for a month, but neither worked. I even consulted a doctor on Practo who suggested Onabet 2 cream and Terbinafine 250mg tablets, but there's been no improvement after a month. Is there any strong cream or treatment you would recommend for Tinea Cruris? I'm looking for something effective because nothing seems to be helping.

I'm experiencing a lot of hair fall and I'm wondering about the best time to take the Tricogro tablet. Could you advise me on that? Also, are there any other medicines or treatments for hair growth that you would recommend? And about weight loss, I've noticed an increase of about 8kg over the past year. I've got excess fat and can't seem to figure out what to do. Any advice or medication suggestions for managing this weight gain would really help.
