I'm dealing with a really embarrassing issue and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've got this onion-like smell coming from my inner thighs and around my pannis area. Every time I walk, it's like the skin is peeling away like mud, and the area just stays wet all the time. Whenever I try wearing underwear, it starts itching a lot. I feel too embarrassed to see a doctor face-to-face about it. Could this be something serious? How should I handle it?

I'm dealing with hair fall caused by PCOD and I'm already on medication for it. I was thinking about adding Zincovit tablets to my routine. How long might it take for Zincovit to show any results, especially for the hair fall issue?

Zincovit tablets can start showing results in PCOD-related hair fall within 4-6 weeks of regular use. It is recommended to take one Zincovit tablet once daily after meals. Additionally, continue taking your PCOD tablets as prescribed by your doctor for optimal management of PCOD symptoms.

I'm worried because I've been using Melacare for the last four years, and now my face has become really oily. I'm planning to stop using it, but I'm not sure what to do. Melacare hasn't given me any allergies, but I want to reduce the oiliness. Could you suggest how I can stop this oily production on my face?

you cannot stop it abruptly, wean it off slowly in two weeks by applying alternate days for a week and two days once in a week and soo,for alternate suggestion visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
