I'm really struggling with tinea cruris and it's been going on for almost 34 months. I've seen a skin specialist, but the issue isn't completely resolved. Is there any treatment out there that can fully get rid of this condition? The itching is driving me crazy and I'm really frustrated.

Home Remedies
- Keep the area clean and dry: Wash with soap and water, and dry thoroughly.

View allI've heard that vitamin E is supposed to help with beard growth. Is it a good idea for me to take Evamore Plus vitamin E pills for this? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Vitamin E can indeed promote beard growth by improving blood circulation to the hair follicles and supporting overall hair health. Evamore Plus is a good choice for Vitamin E supplementation. You can take 400-800 IU of Vitamin E daily for beard growth. As for side effects, Vitamin E is generally safe when taken within the recommended dosage range. However, high doses of Vitamin E can cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and an increased risk of bleeding. It is important to stick to the recommended dosage to avoid any adverse effects.

I'm living in Chennai and I'm worried about the water here since it's really salty and it seems to be affecting my hair a lot. I'm noticing that I'm losing about 50 strands every time I shower, and it's freaking me out because I didn't have this problem when I was back in my hometown. Plus, my scalp has been getting super itchy. Could you recommend a good shampoo for this situation? Also, any diet tips to help strengthen my hair would be great.
Minoxidil 5.. solution for local application is advised for 3-4 weeks, if any side-effects consult dermatologist.

I'm 26 years old and dealing with quite a bit of white hair in my beard. My doctor suggested using Altris 5 solution to help with reversing it, but I read somewhere that it's mostly effective for people under 25. Is there any truth to this? Is it possible for me to reverse my white beard with this solution?
That could be Premature greying of hair,and thats reversible, consume protein rich foods and maintain healthy lifestyle.
