I'm dealing with really itchy, dry, and flaky skin, mainly around my joints. It also gets red and sometimes even oozes if I scratch too much. Do you think soframycin could help calm these symptoms, or is it better to look for a different treatment? I'm trying to figure out how to manage it better.

I'm dealing with a ring-shaped rash on my lower body, like my legs and thighs. It's been there for years, maybe around 2025 days, and it's just spreading instead of healing. I've tried using Cream clofresh ot, but it hasn't helped at all. What would you recommend to stop it from spreading and finally get rid of it? I'm really worried about this.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
