I'm having this really persistent itch on my backside and between my thighs. I've been trying Crotorax for it, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Do you think there's something else I should try, or could there be a different underlying issue?

I've had pretty large breasts since middle school and hit puberty fast, so I was never really comfortable with my body. I ended up wearing sports bras to make my breasts look smaller for the longest time. Now, Ive got this discoloration around my breasts from sweating and chafing. Is there any way to get rid of it?

I'm really worried about my husband. He was diagnosed with dengue and the doctor prescribed paracetamol and Omnix 200 DT. But now hes got all this redness and swelling on his face, and weird bumps on his tongue and neck. It seems pretty serious to me. What should we do next, and what kind of doctor should we be reaching out to for this?

I'm a 30-year-old guy and my hair's been thinning out with some mild bald spots showing up. My dermatologist recommended I take Finax 1 Tablet once every day, but I've heard it could have sexual side effects. Could you tell me if these side effects are common or if they might cause problems with family planning in the future? I'm a bit concerned about how it could impact me sexually as time goes on. Would love to hear your thoughts.
