I'm dealing with a nail issue and it's actually gotten worse after taking fluconazole and glevo. I've also heard about something called oxychomycosui disease and I'm kind of worried if it might be related. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

Treatment for nail issues and onychomycosis disease can include the use of antifungal medications. In this case, since the nail issue worsened after fluconazole and levofloxacin (Glevo), it is important to consider alternative antifungal medications. Additionally, topical antifungal medications like Ciclopirox (brand name Penlac) nail lacquer can be applied daily. It is important to continue treatment consistently as prescribed by your healthcare provider to see improvement in the nail condition.

I've been getting a lot of red spots on my body and they're super itchy. I've tried some home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or a skin condition such as eczema or hives. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) to help with the itching and redness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that I lose about 20 hairs every day after I take a bath and when I pull on them a bit. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of hair shedding? It's been on my mind lately, and I just want to make sure everything's okay.
