I started going to the gym back in November 2015, and now it's been about 56 months. I've noticed some stretch marks appearing near my armpit area. I've talked to my nutritionist and gym trainer about it, and even did some Googling. It seems like these marks might be popping up because my body is growing or adding more muscle. Does that sound right, or could there be another reason behind them? Should I see a dermatologist about this, or would a sports nutritionist be better to consult with? Any advice would be appreciated!

What could be the reasons for getting white hair on my head? I've noticed a few strands turning white recently, and I'm a bit concerned. Is it something related to age or can other factors like stress or diet cause this? Would love to know what might be going on.

I've been dealing with this stubborn fungal infection and was wondering if I could use Monoguard cream instead of Lulifin. Is one better than the other in treating this? I'm really not sure which to pick and would love some guidance!

Both Monoguard cream and Lulifin cream are antifungal creams used to treat fungal infections. However, Lulifin cream contains the active ingredient luliconazole, which is specifically designed to treat fungal skin infections. Monoguard cream may not be as effective for treating fungal infections compared to Lulifin cream. I recommend using Lulifin cream for the treatment of fungal infections. Apply a thin layer of Lulifin cream to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider.
