Question

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.

Question

I'm thinking about using iMxia XL serum, but I'm not entirely sure how to apply it. Do I need to put it on my entire head and cover every strand like when I use hair oil? I'm just a bit confused and want to make sure Im doing it right.

Question

I've noticed that the roots of my frontal hair seem really short and thin, almost like there's no root at all, but the rest of my hair has strong, long roots. I'm really worried about this difference. What could be causing it, and how can I improve the condition of the roots in the front?

Question

I'm struggling with persistent irritation and itchiness in my groin area, especially after long drives in hot and humid conditions. Initially, keeping the area dry and using Candid Clotrimazole powder would help, but now it seems to have become a recurring issue. The skin's darker with some scaling, and the itchiness and burning sensation return if I skip a bath or don't use the powder every 12 hours. I'm wearing loose clothing and trying to keep the area as dry as possible, but I'm not seeing any permanent relief. What can I do to completely get rid of this problem?
