I've been dealing with these dark spots left behind by Sapat lotion after I used it for my ringworms a few months ago. Even though I've tried so many home remedies, I can't seem to get rid of them. Can you suggest any creams or lotions that might help fade these spots?

I've been dealing with hair fall since I was 23, which was about two years ago, and now my hairline's starting to form that dreaded M shape. I'm looking for a way to control it, and I stumbled across Trichoton tablets. Could these tablets actually help with the usual improvement in hair growth and development, or is there something else I should consider?

I'm really worried about this gilti I've had near my chest, below my arm, for the past four months. It gets really painful sometimes, and the doctors I've seen so far just keep giving me painkillers. No one really seems to know what's going on, and it's getting frustrating not having any clear answers. I'm not sure what kind of specialist I should see to get this checked out properly. Any advice on where I should go from here?
