I'm 52 and pretty short compared to the rest of my tall family, except for my dad's mom. I'm wondering if there are natural ways to increase my height without resorting to unnecessary medicines, or if it's just in my genes. Any advice?

For fungal infections, Candid B cream is usually preferred over dusting powder for its moisturizing and soothing properties. However, Candid dusting powder can be used in certain situations:

When to use Candid dusting powder:

Excessive sweating: Powder can help keep the area dry.

Intertrigo: Powder can help reduce friction and moisture.

Alternatives:

Clotrimazole cream: An antifungal cream that can be used as an alternative.

Miconazole powder: Another antifungal powder option.

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before switching or using alternative treatments.

I'm 17 and weigh around 72 kg. I've been dealing with what looks like male breasts for about three years, and it's really starting to bother me. I'm not sure if it's gynecomastia or just chest fat, but surgery isn't something I want to consider. Is there any medication or other solutions I could try to help with this? I'm feeling pretty embarrassed and would really appreciate any advice you can give.
