I'm noticing that the hair at the front of my scalp has become really thin over the last three months, and it's barely growing back. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Could you help me understand what might be happening and offer any remedies?

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my inner thighs for the past four months. I've tried using candid cream, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Is there something else I should try, or do I need to see a doctor in person about this? I'm kind of worried it might get worse.

Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment, as persistent fungal infections may require oral antifungals, topical creams like clotrimazole or terbinafine, or other treatments, and make sure to keep the affected area clean, dry, and well-ventilated.

I'm curious about the medicine EDVITAPRO and what it's used for. Does it help reduce scars? Also, could you recommend a good cream for scars?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for reassessment, as itraconazole and griseofulvin are effective treatments; alternatives or additions may include topical creams (e.g., terbinafine, clotrimazole), oral antifungals (e.g., fluconazole, posaconazole), or laser therapy; also, ensure you're using an antifungal soap, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and avoiding sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.
