I'm really concerned about these red rings that keep appearing under my thighs. They seem to go away when I use the cream, but as soon as I stop, they come back. Occasionally, I also feel some itching on my lower back and under my hips. The only thing that seems to be working is Dermiford. Other creams didn't have any effect, but the Doxypal DR is showing some results too. Could you help me understand what's going on and how to get rid of this problem?

The recurring red rings under your thighs, accompanied by occasional itching on your lower back and under hips, may indicate a fungal infection, such as ringworm or candidiasis; the effectiveness of Dermiford and Doxypal DR creams suggests a fungal or bacterial origin; consider consulting a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and recommend a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include antifungal or antibacterial medications, in addition to topical cream

I've just noticed these strange red lines on my left thumb, index finger, and ring finger. They seem to appear in pairs of two. I'm 20, and this happened right after I did a 30-minute mini trampoline workout. Could the workout have something to do with it? Should I be concerned about these marks? What could this be?

I'm a 29-year-old guy considering taking Headzup Men tablets to help with my hair fall issues. I'm wondering if they're safe to use or if they could have any side effects. Can you provide some insights or advice on this?

you can consider taking Propecia tablets. The recommended dosage is 1mg once daily. Propecia has been shown to be effective in reducing hair loss in men. However, like all medications, it may have potential side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction in some men. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication."

I'm using Ethiglo face wash for about 20 days now because I'm hoping to lighten my skin tone, but I haven't noticed any changes yet. Could you recommend a good face wash for oily skin? And maybe a cream that would help too? Just trying to get the right products.
