I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been around for years and it's really bothering me. It's located on my inner thighs and has left a dark brown patch. I'm not sure if my diet could be affecting this, but I am a non-vegetarian. Could you offer any advice or treatment options?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth.

I'm 27 and I'm still not growing a beard. My moustache is kind of there, but my beard just won't come in. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to help it grow?

It's not uncommon for beard growth to vary widely due to genetics or hormonal factors. If there's no underlying medical issue like low testosterone or alopecia, it's usually not a serious problem. A dermatologist or endocrinologist can evaluate and suggest treatments, such as minoxidil or supplements, if appropriate.
