I'm dealing with a fungal infection and currently taking fluconazole and griseofulvin. I'm thinking about applying Candiderma cream inside my vagina. Is that safe or advisable to do while I'm already on these medications?

You can continue taking fluconazole and griseofulvin systemically for your fungal infection. For vaginal fungal infections, you can use antifungal creams specifically designed for vaginal use, such as Clotrimazole cream or Miconazole cream. Apply a small amount of the cream inside the vagina as directed by the instructions on the packaging.

View allI've been dealing with hair loss for the past year and initially had some success with minoxidil 5 foam and dutasteride dutamax. But after three months, I switched to minoxidil 5 liquid and duprost dutasteride, and now my hair's shedding like crazy again. Could this be because I changed my meds? What can I do to stop my hair from falling out? I've stopped using the liquid minoxidilis it better to go back to the foam and the original dutasteride?
It seems like the change in your medication from minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax to minoxidil 5% liquid and duprost dutasteride may have contributed to the increased hair shedding. I recommend switching back to minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax as they were working well for you before

I've noticed some black spots appearing on a few of my fingers. I think it might be some kind of allergy, but there's no itching involved. Could this still be an allergic reaction, or is there something else I should be concerned about?
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .

I'm really worried and curious about something. Is it true that eating milk and onions together, like in a sandwich or mixed with vegetables, can cause vitiligo? I'm just trying to understand how vitiligo actually happens. Is it some kind of viral issue? I'd appreciate any insights you could give me.
Consuming milk and onion together does not cause vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin condition where the cells that produce skin pigment are destroyed, leading to white patches on the skin. The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the pigment-producing cells. Vitiligo is not viral. Treatment options for vitiligo include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and phototherapy with medications like Tacrolimus ointment or Pimecrolimus cream.
