I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection that's been going on for about 3 months. I've seen various doctors and tried all kinds of meds, but after a few days or weeks, it just comes back to the same situation. I'm dealing with these ring-like red formations on my skin that are super itchy, and they leave red patches. Any idea what might be causing this or how to actually get rid of it? It's really frustrating!

View allI'm really worried about my hair. I've noticed Ive lost about 50% of it, and the area where I part my hair is looking much wider now. Could this be telogen effluvium, and if it is, what can I do to encourage hair regrowth and stop it from thinning further?

I'm really worried because I've had ringworm near my private area for the past three months. I was using a cream on it and covering it with cotton, but it started spreading to nearby areas. The thing is, I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm really anxious because I was using the cream until yesterday. Could this have harmed my baby in any way? I'd appreciate any advice or insight you might have.

I've been dealing with a ton of facial hair, and it's really driving me up the wall. I keep up with threading and waxing, but it's getting to be such a bother. Do you think laser treatments would be a smart move for me? I'm wondering how many sessions I'd need to cover my entire face. Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Laser hair removal can be a good option for reducing facial hair. It is effective in targeting hair follicles and reducing hair growth over time. The number of sessions required for the entire face can vary depending on individual factors such as hair thickness and skin tone, but typically around 6-8 sessions may be needed for optimal results. Some common side effects of laser hair removal on the face may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the procedure. It is important to follow post-care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize any potential side effects. You can consider using brands like Lumenis LightSheer for laser hair removal on the face. The dosage and frequency of sessions will be determined by the healthcare provider based on your individual needs.
