I'm dealing with really thin and scanty hair, so I went to see a trichologist. They prescribed me Mintop Eva 5 lotion and told me to apply 1ml daily. I'm curious, after putting on the Mintop, is it okay if I put oil on my hair after, say, 3 hours?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with ringworm on her butt for about two months now, and it's just not getting any better. We visited a skin doctor who gave us a prescription, but that hasn't helped at all. She's getting more and more frustrated with the constant itching, irritation, and those red rashes. What else can we do to help her find relief?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with rashes on my inner thighs and used quadriderm cream for it. I also washed the area with Dettol. The itching and rashes seemed to go away for a bit, but now I've noticed black marks and the rashes are spreading again. What should I do to stop this from worsening?

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've noticed that I have puffy nipples. They look normal when it's cold, but when it's warm, they get really puffy again. It makes me feel super self-conscious about taking my shirt off. I'm pretty sure it's not gynecomastia because there aren't any lumps under the nipples. Is there anything I can do that might help with this?

use primrose oil and massage it
