I'm having a skin issue on my thigh and it seems like it might be a ringworm. I've tried using antifungal cream and candid gold dusting powder, but it keeps coming back and spreading. What should I do to get rid of it for good?

-I'd recommend seeing a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get a stronger prescription antifungal treatment. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry to help prevent it from spreading.

I've been losing a lot of hair lately and it's really worrying me. I switched to herbal shampoo and oil but it hasn't made any difference. My hair keeps falling out every day and I'm not sure what to do. I don't want surgery can medications alone help with this?

Minoxidil and oral meds may help with hair fall‚Äîdermatologist evaluation is key before considering surgery.

I'm currently using Androfol, Follihair, and Coverit Minoxidil to help with my hair loss, but I've noticed there's been no improvement over the past two months. I'm considering starting Finabald 1mg but I'm concerned about potential side effects. Would starting Finabald be a good idea, and are there any risks I should be aware of?
