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?

I'm curious about the combination of using Zydip lotion with coconut oil for hair growth and Nintop lotion in the morning. Is it safe to use them together, and do you think it might actually help with hair growth? I've also heard mixed things, so I'm kind of worried. What should I expect, and are there any side effects I should watch out for?

It sounds like your doctor has put together a comprehensive treatment plan to help with hair regrowth, and Zydip lotion with coconut oil combined with Nintop is a solid approach. Stick with the treatment as directed, and make sure to consult your doctor if you notice any unwanted side effects or if the hair thinning continues.
