I've been dealing with a ringworm for a couple of years now, and it just doesn't seem to go away no matter how many doctors I see. I'm starting to feel a bit desperate. What could be going wrong, and how should I approach getting rid of it for good?

Despite being diagnosed and treated by multiple doctors, your persistent ringworm infection over the past two years suggests that the underlying cause might not have been fully addressed; consider consulting a dermatologist for a re-evaluation, as they may recommend additional tests, such as a skin scraping or biopsy, to confirm the diagnosis and identify any underlying conditions, such as a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection, and provide targeted treatment, which may include antifungal medications, creams, or ointments.

I've been hearing a lot about using onion juice on the scalp to promote hair growth. I'm really curious if it actually works and how quickly it might show results. Is it safe to use, or are there any potential side effects I should be aware of? I'd love to know more about its effectiveness and any tips on how I might go about trying it.

Onion juice has been shown to promote hair growth due to its high sulfur content which helps improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. You can apply onion juice directly to the scalp and leave it on for about 30 minutes before washing it off. This can be done 1-2 times a week for best results.
