I'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my butt that's been bothering me for a few months now. I did see a doctor, and they gave me some cream and powder to use, which seemed to clear things up at first. But now, instead of that round, rash-like infection, I've developed bubble or pimple-like fungal bumps. Any idea what might be happening or how I should handle this? I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of it for good.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a different type of fungal infection after treating the initial round. For the bubble or pimple-like fungal infection, you can try using Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg tablet once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been using Minoxidil 5 and Finasteride 0.1 Topical Solution for the last couple of years. At first, everything seemed great, but now my hair's falling out more than ever. Plus, I'm dealing with acne as well. Could this be a sign of some hormonal imbalance? My CBC showed I'm low on Vit D3 and B12, but I've been taking the prescribed pills for that. I try to work out a bit and my diet's just regular Indian food, nothing fancy. I'm not really keen on treatments like PRP but I'm wondering if I should switch to Oral Finasteride. What do you think?

I've been losing a lot of hair recently and even noticed some bald spots. My doctor, Nimesh Shah, prescribed me MBSON SL 1500mg to take every morning for the past 15 days. I'm really hoping this will help with the hair fall. Can you tell if this will actually work for me?

This medicine MBSON-SL 1500mg is a combination of biotin, selenium, and zinc which are known to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. The dosage of 1500mg is appropriate for daily use. It may help in improving your hair condition and reducing hair fall. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed
