I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable situation where I've got this infection in my pubic area and nearby thighs. It's turned the skin black and the itching is seriously bad. Do you think it could be some kind of fungal infection or is it something else? I'm pretty concerned and would love some advice.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

View allIve been really struggling with sun tanning on my hands and neck. Theyve gotten quite dark lately, and Id really love to get my hands and face to match in color since my face is still quite bright. I'm looking for affordable home-based treatments that can help even out my skin tone. Could you please give me some advice?
To reduce sun tanning on your hands and neck, you can try using a mixture of lemon juice and honey. Apply this mixture on the affected areas and leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. You can do this daily until you see improvement. Additionally, using aloe vera gel on the tanned areas can also help in lightening the skin. Remember to apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going out in the sun to prevent further tanning.

I'm 25 and I've been using Cloben G for a couple of months, but now that I've stopped, my face has turned red and it's super itchy with these rashes. I'm really not sure what to do next. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
This could be due to withdrawal effects or rebound effects from the steroid in the cream. To help with the redness and itching, you can try using a mild topical corticosteroid like hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized and avoid any harsh skincare products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got this annoying cystic acne on one of my buttocks, and it's super painful and inflamed. In the past, I've had cystic acne on my cheek and chest, and my doctor recommended Nadoxin, which worked back then. But now, using Nadoxin on this one doesn't seem to do the trick. Should I stick with Nadoxin, or do I need to try something else?
Considering the severity of your cystic acne on your buttock, it may be beneficial to switch to a more potent medication. I recommend stopping the use of Nadoxin and consulting with your doctor for a prescription of a stronger topical antibiotic like Duac gel. Additionally, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline may be necessary to help reduce inflammation and control the infection. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions for proper dosage and duration of treatment.
