I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that just won't go away. I've tried so many ointments and medicines, but it always comes back. What could be causing this, and is there something different I should be doing to get rid of it for good? It's really frustrating.

I'm a 20-year-old guy who's been dealing with alopecia for the past 2 years, and it's been really tough. I've tried all sorts of lotions and medicines, but nothing seems to work. I've given Ayurvedic, natural, and medical treatments a shot, but still no luck. Honestly, it's taking a toll on my mental health, and I'm avoiding social events because of it. Could you suggest the best way to tackle this problem? I would really appreciate your help.

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've had a naturally thick lower lip since childhood but now at 19 it seems to be getting even thicker while my upper lip stays small. Are there any natural ways to reduce the size of my lower lip without surgery

Non-surgical lip reduction options are limited. Lip exercises have minimal effect. Surgery is the most effective option for size reduction.
