I'm really confused about something. Every time I drink alcohol or eat non-veg food, the area with my fungal infection gets super itchy and red. My doctor said alcohol isnt the cause, but I've heard from people that it might mean there's something wrong with my liver. Could that be true? What should I do about it?

View allI've been worried about a skin issue that started after I used MemopiHC cream on my entire face instead of just the affected area. It's been around 8 months now, but I'm still dealing with redness around my nose. I used the cream for about 15 days, and ever since, I've noticed this redness. Can you give me some advice on how to help my skin recover from this?
I recommend using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream twice a day on the affected area to help soothe and hydrate the skin. In addition, you can apply a thin layer of a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream once a day to reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to avoid using any harsh products on your face and protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. If the redness persists or worsens, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 28-year-old guy dealing with male pattern baldness. I went to see a dermatologist, and they suggested I try Minoxidil, Finasteride 1mg, and Keraglo AD. After using Finasteride for about a month, I've noticed some side effects like a drop in libido and more watery semen. I decided to stop taking Finasteride because of this. Is there another way to control my hair loss or another medication that can help block DHT and maybe even encourage hair growth? Would really appreciate your advice.
Since you have experienced side effects from finasteride, an alternative medication you can consider for stopping DHT and promoting hair growth is Dutasteride. Dutasteride works similarly to finasteride but is more potent. You can discuss with your dermatologist about the possibility of switching to Dutasteride. Additionally, you can continue using Minoxidil 5 for promoting hair growth. It is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management of your male pattern baldness.

Can you explain the difference between epidermal and dermal hyperpigmentation? How can I tell them apart? Also, are there any treatments that can fully fade stubborn dermal hyperpigmentation? I'm really curious about how deep PIH goes under the skin.
