I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection on my face that's been bothering me for about a year. I was on itraconazole capsules from Dr. Reddy's and clotrimazole ointment for three months, and it seemed to clear up for a bit. But as soon as I finished the medication, it came back within a week. I'm an MBBS student at PIMS in Jalandhar, and I'm wondering if there are any injectable options available for this?

View allI've heard a lot about using alum for lightening facial hair, but I'm wondering if it's actually effective. Does it really make the hair less visible? Also, what should I be aware of in terms of benefits and drawbacks if I decide to try it out?
Alum, also known as potassium alum, can indeed help in lightening facial hair and reducing its appearance. It works by inhibiting the hair growth. However, it is important to note that alum can cause skin irritation and dryness in some individuals. Pros: - Helps in lightening facial hair - Reduces the appearance of facial hair - Can be a cost-effective hair removal method Cons: - May cause skin irritation and dryness - Not suitable for individuals with sensitive skin - Results may vary from person to person If you decide to use alum for facial hair, it is recommended to do a patch test first to check for any skin sensitivity. Apply a small amount of alum on a small area of your skin and wait for 24 hours to see if there is any adverse reaction. If there is no irritation, you can proceed with using alum for facial hair lightening.

I've had these papillae on the left side of my tongue for about a month now, with four of them there. I started taking a daily Zincovit tablet around 15 days ago, but I haven't noticed any improvement. They don't hurt or anything, but I'm just concerned. Could you advise on what might be going on or suggest something that could help?
If your tongues papillae are not painful and you're not experiencing any other symptoms, it's usually not a cause for concern, but follow-up with a healthcare provider can help to reassure you and ensure that nothing more serious is going on.
