I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that I've had for over 4 months now. Initially, I thought it was just a rash that would disappear on its own, but it resembled ringworm and has all spread over the lower parts of my bum. The itching is unbearable. Around 2 months ago, I noticed a ringworm on my stomachit was small at first but now it's grown quite a bit and started spreading. I'm also seeing new ones popping up near my genital area. I'm really worried about this and need some guidance on what to do. I've started using Cosvate GM because a friend who had a similar issue suggested itis this safe to use for my condition?

I've been applying Vitamin E capsule gel mixed with aloe vera gel on my face and for my dark circles and I've noticed a big improvement. I'm really happy with the results, but I'm curious if it's safe to use this combination on my skin every day for the rest of my life. Could there be any long-term effects I should worry about?

you can stop using it ince you are cured from the problem,no need to use it for life time,there is no harm if it is used for long periods.

I've been losing a lot of hair lately, and my haircutter suggested that I try a hair spa treatment to help. Do you think it's a good idea? Will a hair spa actually help reduce my hair loss? I'm really concerned and would love your advice.

You can proceed with hair spa treatments as they can help promote hair health, reduce stress, and improve scalp conditions, but it's essential to consult a dermatologist to rule out underlying medical conditions causing hair loss.

I've been bitten by mosquitoes a few weeks ago, and I'm starting to see rashes on my face. I'm really worried. Could this be related to dengue? Do the rashes usually appear before the fever sets in, or is it the other way around? What are the other symptoms I should watch out for?

dengue rash will be after fever cycle,and is usually seen on abdomen and legs and hands,as u say you have rash over face,needs physical evaluation visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
