I'm living in Bangalore and I'm noticing that after I take a bath, my facial skin feels really dry and it even starts cracking, it's happening with my legs too. I tried using Pond's cold cream, but it just makes my skin oily and doesn't really help. I've been considering trying extra virgin olive oil. Do you have any suggestions or can you recommend something else that might work?

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been sticking around for about three years. I'm really into non-veg food, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to continue eating it with my condition. If it's fine, could you suggest what kind of non-veg options would be best for me? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice!

There is no indication that you are not supposed to eat non veg if you have Fungal infection,avoid foods that your allergic to, otherwise you can have nonveg food of your choice but in a healthy way and limited quantity.
