I'm noticing a lot of new baby hairs coming in, but the thing is, they're greyish white. It's kinda stressing me out. As I'm a pure vegetarian, are there any specific behaviors or diet tweaks I should be making to help with this?

Seeing greywhite baby hairs can be concerning, but it is a natural part of the aging process. To help maintain healthy hair color, as a pure vegetarian, you can focus on including foods rich in copper, iron, zinc, and B vitamins in your diet. Some dietary recommendations include consuming foods like lentils, nuts, seeds, whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and fruits such as berries and citrus fruits. Additionally, you can consider taking a Biotin supplement to support hair health. A balanced diet, adequate hydration, and managing stress levels can also contribute to overall hair health.

View allI've been dealing with jock itch for almost four months now and it's been driving me crazy. I've tried all sorts of meds that doctors have prescribed, like itraconazole, terbinafine, and fluconazole, but nothing's really worked. Any advice on what I should do next? Feel like I'm running out of options here.

My mom has had a skin issue on her heel for the last two years. It usually doesn't hurt but gets itchy, and if there's a cut in that area, it starts to pain. We've tried treatments before, but nothing worked. Now that we're in Mumbai, I'm hoping to find a good dermatologist who can help without suggesting surgery. Most of the ones I've seen here focus on anti-aging or cosmetic procedures. Can you recommend someone who specializes in skin conditions like this? I've attached pictures of the affected area.

I've been dealing with some intense itching in my buttcrack for the last few days, and it's becoming pretty uncomfortable. It feels like I've scratched so much that there's almost a crack forming because of it. This has happened to me before, and I've found that using oil helps to soothe the itch. It's working a bit this time too, but the relief isn't lasting because if I scratch again, it just comes back. Any idea why this keeps happening and what else I can try to get rid of it?
You may be experiencing a case of fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing can help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
