I'm really struggling with jock itch that started on my groin and buttock area about 4 months ago. Now it's spreading like athlete's foot, and it's getting really frustrating. I've tried several treatments Quadriderm for the first couple of weeks and then Itch Guard for a month, but neither worked. I even consulted a doctor on Practo who suggested Onabet 2 cream and Terbinafine 250mg tablets, but there's been no improvement after a month. Is there any strong cream or treatment you would recommend for Tinea Cruris? I'm looking for something effective because nothing seems to be helping.

View allI've been reading up on vitamin D and its impact on hair health, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 23 years old and was recently told I have a vitamin D deficiency. My 25 OH hydroxy vitamin D test results show I have about 23ngmL. Could this deficiency be causing my hair loss? I'm pretty worried and would love some advice.
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hair loss, particularly alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and female pattern hair loss; with a 25(OH)D level of 23 ngmL, you have a moderate deficiency; supplementing with vitamin D (1,000-2,000 IUday) and maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin may help promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.

I've been noticing some hair thinning and reduced density, especially on my crown, over the last 23 months, and I'm getting a bit worried. A doctor mentioned pattern baldness might be a possibility. I'm curious about what steps I can take to prevent or at least delay this from my side. Are there specific dos and don'ts I should be aware of? I've also got a picture of my scalp if that helps.
To prevent or delay further hair loss, you can consider using minoxidil solution, which is available over the counter. Minoxidil is known to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Another option is finasteride, a prescription medication that can help in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, as deficiencies can contribute to hair loss. Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, and harsh chemical treatments, as these can damage the hair and worsen the condition. Additionally, managing stress levels and getting adequate sleep can also support hair health. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations and guidance tailored to your specific needs.

I'm dealing with this really annoying itching that's been going on since May. At first, it was just itching, but then the spots turned into these reddish round patches. I thought it might be something like ringworm, so I got some ring out ointment from the store, but the itching came back. Sometimes, it gets so bad that it even bleeds a bit. I've been using coconut oil and bathing with Dettol twice a day, but it's not helping much. It's really getting on my nerves. Any idea what could be causing this or how to make it stop?
this looks like a disease called intertrigo,this needs oral and topical antifungal agents, visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment,personal hygiene is most important in such conditions.
