I'm noticing some black patches forming on my forehead and my skin tone seems to be getting darker with each day. I used to have a fair complexion, but now my face looks much darker. What could be causing this change, and how should I address it?

My friend has been dealing with an itchy sensation on his thighs near his private area for about two weeks now, where the legs meet. At first, he thought it might be a daad, so he tried using ring guard and other similar treatments, but the itching just keeps getting worse. Can you tell me what this might be and suggest what he should do?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm a 21-year-old woman and I don't have issues with acne, but my face tends to look dull. I tried Botanica 3D serum and liked the results. I'm thinking of keeping up with it, but I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects. Can I safely use it long-term?
