I'm a bit concerned about the hair growth around a wound on my chin where I had a mole removed. The stitches are healing, but I'm noticing the hair from my stubble is growing in different directions, making it look all bunched up in the area near the wound. Just wondering, once the scar tissue settles, will the hair start growing normally again? Will it stop looking all bunched together?

When the scar tissue settles down, the hair growth pattern may improve. In the meantime, you can try using Minoxidil solution to promote hair growth and improve the appearance of the area. Apply Minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area for better results.

I've been dealing with this fungal infection for over a year now, and I regularly use CIPLA FOREDERM CREAM which makes it feel normal. But if I stop using the cream for just 2-3 days, the itching becomes so intense that I can't walk or wear pants comfortably. Can you advise me on how to cure this, and if there's a permanent treatment available? I'm really struggling with this and would appreciate some guidance.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
