I'm dealing with a penile yeast infection that's been lingering for about a month. I saw a skin doctor who prescribed itraconazole capsules and propyzone nf cream initially, then ibisert cream afterward. Even after finishing the medication, I'm still experiencing itching inside the head and neck of my penis, which can be quite embarrassing, though there's no visible fungus anymore. Can you offer any advice on how I might be able to fully get rid of this?

View allI'm a bit concerned about using Tretiva 20. I've been taking it for the last 10 days, and instead of getting better, my acne has actually gotten worse. Is this normal? Why could this be happening?
that will help in healing acne but in your case it looks like acne vulgaris which needs antibiotic treatment, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my hair. I used to have really thick, jet-black hair ever since I was a kid, but over the last few years, my hair has been falling out so much. Now, it's not only thinning but also turned from black to brown. Plus, there are these red bumps and a lot of dandruff on my scalp. I'm not sure what could be causing all this. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I can do about it?

I've had my wart removed 3 times but it keeps coming back now I'm using boroplus and it's shrinking slowly should I go for surgery again or try a different gel what would you recommend
Recurrent warts may need electrocautery or cryotherapy; try salicylic acid or imiquimod before repeat surgery.
