Question

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!

Question

I've been experiencing some side effects on my neck from using melameate cream consistently. There are these dark, long-shaped spots and it's starting to itch. How can I treat this? And if I decide to use the cream again, should I use it continuously or take breaks? If breaks are needed, how often should I take them?

Question

I'm noticing more facial hair after using the minoxidil aminexil topical solution 5% for my hair loss issue. Should I be worried about this? Is it a common side effect or does it mean something else is happening? How can I manage or prevent this from happening? Any advice would be appreciated!
