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?

View allI'm trying to find an anti-fungal cream that isn't steroid-based. Do you have any suggestions? Also, how long does it usually take for the marks to fade completely?
Here are some non-steroidal anti-fungal cream suggestions: *Clotrimazole-based creams* 1. *Candid cream*: Effective against fungal infections, available over-the-counter (OTC). 2. *Canesten cream*: Contains clotrimazole, used to treat fungal skin infections. *Terbinafine-based creams* 1. *Lamisil cream*: Treats fungal infections, available OTC. 2. *Terbinex cream*: Contains terbinafine, used to treat fungal skin infections. *Duration for Fading Away Marks* The time it takes for marks to fade away depends on: 1. *Severity of the infection*: More severe infections may take longer to clear up. 2. *Effectiveness of the treatment*: Using the right anti-fungal cream and following the treatment regimen can impact the duration. 3. *Individual skin type and healing*: Skin type, age, and overall health can influence the healing process. Typically, with consistent treatment, you can expect: - *Mild infections*: 1-2 weeks for marks to fade away - *Moderate infections*: 2-4 weeks for marks to fade away - *Severe infections*: 4-6 weeks or more for marks to fade away

Am currently using Mintop USP2. Do you think it's okay if I start using Keto AZ shampoo as well? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

I'm using Jiaobi whitening cream, and I've noticed my skin's getting clearer and my dark spots are fading. But I'm wondering, is this cream actually safe for long-term use? Could there be any side effects I should be worried about? And is there any risk it might cause skin cancer? Just trying to make sure it's okay to keep using it. The ingredients listed are stearic acid glyceride, barley, cress, bone wood, chamomile, Vitamins A, D, E, aloe vera, and enzyme.
There are minimal side-effects like itching,rash and nausea.Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
