I'm dealing with a strong fishy odor coming from my groin area, and it's really uncomfortable. There's also constant itching and some red spots, and it doesn't seem to go away during the day. What could be causing this and how can I make it better?

The fishy odor, itching, and red spots in the groin area may indicate a bacterial or fungal infection, such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomiasis, or intertrigo; consult a dermatologist

I've been dealing with some intense redness on my face after using skinlite cream for a couple of days. My dermatologist suggested momivate cream which has 0.1% mometasone furoate. Is it okay to leave this cream on overnight? I'm also worried because my skin is really oily and prone to acne. Could using this cream cause more acne? Would really appreciate your advice.

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I've got some boils on my thighs and I've been taking amox capsules for them. Is that the right way to go about it, or should I be doing something else? What's the best way to treat these boils?

Taking Amox capsules for boils on your thighs may be incorrect without a proper diagnosis, as boils are typically caused by bacterial infections like Staphylococcus aureus, and Amox capsules are usually prescribed for specific bacterial infections; instead, try applying warm compresses to the affected area, keeping it clean with antibacterial soap, and seeking medical attention if the boil becomes severely painful, large, or accompanied by fever or pus.

I'm a bit confused about something. My doctor prescribed Keraglo Black tablets for premature greying, but I can't find them at any of the local pharmacies. I've been looking online and came across Kerablak tablets, which seem to be for the same issue. Are these two medications actually the same thing, or are there differences I should be aware of? Would it be okay to take Kerablak as a substitute?

Yes both are same you can use either and is used for premature greying of hair
