I'm really struggling with a case of jock itch that's making my life pretty uncomfortable. It's all red and scaly and the itching is driving me nuts. I've tried so many over-the-counter options like Quadriderm and Triben Plus, but they only seem to work for a bit before the itch comes right back. Even the home remedies I've tried don't seem to help. What can I do to finally get rid of this?

I've noticed these weird goosebump-like rashes on my skin, mostly on my arms, and now there's one on my cheek too. They're lighter than my normal skin tone and itch sometimes. I've been using Flucort, and they seem to disappear, but I'm still concerned. What could be causing these rashes, and should I keep using Flucort or try something else? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
