I'm dealing with frequent hair fall and complete hair loss, and my scalp now looks bald. There's no dandruff, but its smooth and shiny like a cricket ground, and Im really struggling with confidence because of it. Its something that runs in my family, but I desperately want to get back a full volume of hair. Can you offer any advice on treatments or solutions that might help restore my hair?

I've had this thing that looks like ringworm on my neck for a few months now. My doctor prescribed the strongest cream they have, but it's still not going away. I'm really worried and confused about why it's not healing. Could it be something else or am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.

Persistent ringworm infections may require a different approach. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary. I recommend speaking to your doctor about trying oral antifungal medication such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) at a dosage of 250mg once daily for several weeks. This should help to effectively treat the ringworm infection on your neck.

I've been using hh lite cream for a couple of months and while it worked instantly, my face got darker once I stopped. My doctor recommended trying loprolif 0.1 ointment and neoskin moisturizer, but I'm only seeing a little improvement. Is this the best treatment plan, or is there something else I should consider? I'm really worried about getting my original complexion back. Would love some advice!

Continue same treatment.
