I'm 17 and dealing with some major hair fall issues. It's got me a bit worried. I've already seen a doctor, and they suggested some oil and ayurvedic medicine. I'm just wondering if there's anything else I could be doing to help stop it. Is there something specific I should look out for or any other advice you might have?

View allI'm planning my wedding and the stress of acne is really getting to me. The doctor prescribed me Deriva CMS gel for my acne, but I'm really worried it might make things worse before they get better, especially with my big day coming up. Does this gel really cause acne to increase at the start? Im just so confused about whether I should start using it now. Any advice would be massively helpful.
Deriva CMS gel is a topical retinoid treatment that contains adapalene, which can help reduce acne. Initial Breakout or Purge: Yes, it's common for Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial breakout or "purge" phase, especially during the first 2-4 weeks of treatment. This can manifest as: 1. Increased redness and inflammation 2. More noticeable acne lesions 3. Skin sensitivity or irritation This initial breakout is usually a sign that the treatment is working, as it pushes underlying blockages and bacteria to the surface. Pre-Wedding Concerns: Given your upcoming wedding, it's understandable that you're concerned about the potential initial breakout. However, it's essential to remember that: 1. The initial breakout is usually temporary and subsides within a few weeks. 2. Deriva CMS gel can help improve your skin's appearance and reduce acne in the long run.

I'm dealing with some sores on my penis and scrotum that started about a week ago, and there's a lot of itchiness too. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication such as Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with healing.

For ringworm on the back, consider using topical antifungal creams like Clotrimazole (Candid), Miconazole (Micatin), or Terbinafine (Lamisil),
