I'm a 28-year-old male and I've got a fungal infection in my genital area. I've been using Onabet cream, which has Sertaconazole Nitrate in it. I've heard that nitrogen compounds can be harmful to the skin because they can break it down. Since Onabet contains a nitrate compound, I'm worried if it's actually safe to use it in such a sensitive area. Should I keep using Onabet for my condition? I'm really in need of some advice.

View allI'm really worried about my ongoing urticaria after being diagnosed with dengue last year. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist and taking Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin, but it's impacting me mentally too. I'm planning on starting IVF soon, and I'm concerned if this condition might interfere with fertility treatments. Could you help me understand if urticaria could be a problem for IVF?
Your urticaria should not hinder your IVF treatments directly, and your current medications (Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin) are not typically known to interfere with fertility. However, its always best to consult your fertility specialist about your full medication list. The psychological aspect of dealing with chronic urticaria is valid, and managing stress will be important for both your overall well-being and fertility treatment success.

My sister cut her hand with a blade about a year ago, and she still has the cut marks. What can we do to help fade these scars or make them less noticeable? Any tips or treatments would be really appreciated.
Topical Creams 1. Silicone-based creams: Creams containing silicone can help flatten and soften raised scars. 2. Hydroquinone creams: Creams with hydroquinone can help reduce hyperpigmentation associated with scarring. It's essential to consult a dermatologist before starting any treatment. They will assess the scar and recommend the best course of treatment.

I'm using Hair4U minoxidil 5 topical solution and I've got a few questions about it. How long should I be using it, and what happens if I stop? My schedule's pretty tight, so can I just apply it at night? If I see improvements and then quit the product, is that a bad idea does that mean I have to keep using it forever? Also, if my hair gets dry while I'm on this treatment, what should I be doing to fix that? Is it okay to use medicated soap or just water to wash my hair after applying minoxidil at night, and how should I go about washing my hair daily? I'm looking for some advice here.
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
