I'm dealing with a really nasty case of ringworm that's spread all over my body, and I've been on medication like itraconazole, terbinafine, griseofulvin, and fluconazole for the past 6 months. I'm getting desperate here, what else can I do to finally get rid of this?

View allI'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with hair fall, and I've even got bald spots on my scalp. I really want to know how to open up pores on my scalp so my hair can grow back. Are there any treatments or medications that actually work? What's the best option out there, and should I be worried about any major side effects from these treatments?
To open pores on your scalp and promote hair growth, you can consider using minoxidil solution. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area. This can help stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Another option is to use finasteride tablets, which can help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. The usual dosage is 1mg tablet once daily. Both minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for male pattern baldness and have shown effectiveness in promoting hair growth. Minoxidil solution may cause side effects such as scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. Finasteride may cause sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction in some individuals. It is important to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I'm really concerned about this bruise on my face. A week ago, I fell and hit my cheekbone pretty hard. At first, it was just bruised there, but now the bruising has spread all around my eye, and my eyelids and part of my cheek are this purple-green color. The swelling has gone down quite a bit, but there's still some, and I have this lump on my cheekbone that just won't go away. Could it be a hematoma? What's the best way to take care of this bruise and lump?
Sorry to hear that! _Bruising and Swelling_ 1. _Normal progression_: Bruising can spread and change colors as it heals. 2. _Swelling reduction_: Significant reduction in swelling is a good sign. _Lump on Cheekbone_ 1. _Possible hematoma_: A collection of blood that can cause a lump. 2. _Other possibilities_: Fat necrosis, bone fracture, or soft tissue injury. _Care and Treatment_ 1. _Cold compresses_: Continue applying cold compresses to reduce swelling. 2. _Elevation_: Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. 3. _Pain management_: Use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. 4. _Monitor for infection_: Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, or pus. 5. _Follow-up appointment_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the lump and bruising. _When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_ 1. _Increased swelling or pain_ 2. _Vision changes or double vision_ 3. _Difficulty moving your eye or face_ 4. _Signs of infection_
