I'm really concerned because I've been using glyco 6 for half an hour at night and then switching to tyrolite cream overnight for my hyperpigmentation, as my dermatologist recommended. Instead of improving, the dark spots on my face have gotten worse. Should I keep using these creams? I'm not quite sure how they affect my skin. Could the marks be caused by glyco 6? Does glyco 6 peel the skin before it starts to improve the condition?

The sudden increase in dark spots after using Glyco 6 and Tyro-Lite cream may be due to the initial skin reaction, as Glyco 6 (containing glycolic acid) can cause a temporary darkening or "purging" effect as it exfoliates and peels the skin, revealing underlying pigment; however, it's essential to consult your dermatologist

I've been really worried about these red dot marks and the itching on my penis head that started about three weeks ago. I used to masturbate quite a bit, like around 5 to 6 times a week, sometimes even daily, but I've stopped since these symptoms showed up. Im wondering if it could be a yeast or some other fungal infection. I tried using coconut oil, and then some sand-like papules and red marks appeared, along with a bit of swelling inside the foreskin and occasional itching. I started washing with soap and lukewarm water regularly, retracting the foreskin, and Ive been using Patanjali coconut oil every morning. For the past three days, Ive been applying Lilifin Cream, an antifungal agent with Luliconazole 1%, at night, plus I'm having 250ml of curd and raw garlic every day. It feels slightly better, but I'm really anxious to know if this is the right treatment and how long I should continue using the cream. Can you give me some guidance or prescribe the dosage? I'm really stressed about this whole thing.

The antifungal cream you are using, Luliconazole 1% (Lilifin Cream), is a suitable treatment. You should continue applying a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once daily at night before sleeping. It is typically recommended to use this cream for 1 to 2 weeks, but it is important to follow your doctor's advice for the specific duration of treatment. Additionally, incorporating curd and raw garlic in your diet can help boost your immune system and aid in fighting off the infection. Make sure to maintain good hygiene practices by washing your penis with soap and lukewarm water, as you are already doing. If you continue to feel better and see improvement in your symptoms, you can gradually reduce the frequency of applying the cream as advised by your doctor. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to find out if taking a zincovit tablet helps with reducing grey hair and hair fall. My routine is having some abc juice in the morning, then muesli, followed by lunch, and taking a zincovit tablet after that. In the evening, I make a spinach banana smoothie. I'm just wondering if this diet could help decrease hair fall or if it might cause more heat in my body. What do you think?

Zincovit tablets can help improve hair health and reduce hair fall, but they may not directly reduce grey hair. Your diet plan seems balanced and nutritious, which can contribute to overall hair health. However, zincovit tablets contain zinc, vitamins, and minerals that may not necessarily produce more heat in your body. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support hair health.
