I recently saw a doctor for a skin infection and was told it's a fungal infection. They prescribed me Candiforce 200. When I looked it up online, it seems to be more for mouth, throat, and lung issues. I'm a bit confused and worriedwill it actually help with my skin infection? I'm thinking of seeing a dermatologist soon but would love some clarity before that.

I've had a burn scar on my left chest since I was 3 when boiling water spilled on me. Now that I'm 18, it gets really irritated and tender by the end of the day when my clothes rub against it. Sometimes there's this dull, stabbing pain too. I've been using aloe vera gel, which helps cool it down, but once it dries, the irritation comes back. There's no inflammation or infection, though. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?

Yes that needs evaluation,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my hair. A couple of years ago, I used a hair straightening cream and ended up with all these side effects like hair loss, thinning, dandruff, and a dry scalp. I've lost so much hair now that Im practically bald. What can I do to fix this? I could really use some advice on how to manage or reverse these effects.

Stop using those creams immediately.You need to visit a dermatologist or a trichologist for proper treatment .
