I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've noticed that around 10 or 15 of my underarm hairs on one side have turned white all of a sudden. Is this something I should be worried about? It seems really strange to me. Why did only a few hairs change color, and why on just one side? Could there be an underlying reason for this?

I'm trying to figure out which Vitamin C would be best for me to use on my melasma. I want something that can be applied topically or taken orally before using sunscreen. I've heard it might help protect against sun damage, but I'm a bit lost on which kind might work best. Can you offer some advice?

I've been dealing with this itching on my inner thighs and buttocks for the last three months, and I've noticed the same rash on my left-hand wrist and both my right hand and leg joint. I've tried a bunch of antifungal creams and meds like flucan 150mg, cefadroxil 500mg, and Levosiz, and then switched to terbinafine tablets and cream. Been on these for three months now, but there's been no improvement. In fact, the redness got worse over the last four days. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this?

Given your persistent symptoms despite treatment, it's essential to reassess your condition. Here's a step-by-step plan:
