I'm noticing something red inside my belly button, and sometimes there's blood and a liquid coming out. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal? What could be causing it?

It sounds like you might have an infection or a condition like an umbilical granuloma or abscess. Clean the area gently with an antiseptic, keep it dry, and avoid poking it. Consult a doctor soon to rule out any deeper issue and get appropriate treatment.

I'm considering using Dr. Reddy's Minoxidil topical solution USP 2 for hair regrowth, but I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor for a prescription first. Is it safe to start using it on my own, or do I really need to check with a healthcare professional? I've read a bit about it but want to be certain about any risks or side effects I should be aware of. Would really appreciate your advice!

Dr Reddys Minoxidil 5.. is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection around my thigh area and lower abdomen, and it seems to be spreading. I've tried a few different medications, but I can't remember their names, and I've even applied apple cider vinegar with no luck. Could you suggest some effective medicines or treatments that might help me get rid of it?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
