I'm really worried about my hair. It's thinning a lot on the top and front, and I have dandruff. Plus, I've noticed some white hairs, even when I shave, and this is all happening in my teenage years. Is there something wrong, and what can I do about it?

View allI've been dealing with ringworm for about six months and haven't had any luck with the creams I've tried. Someone suggested I try Derobin cream, so I used a lot of it for around 11 hours. Now my skin is burnt and really red, especially on my thighs, penis, and testicles. It's really painful and I'm worried. Can you recommend any creams or medicine to help fix this issue?

I've been using Melamet cream for over a year and noticed good results, but I've recently seen some reviews saying it's actually not good for the skin. I've also heard that using hydroquinone doesn't cause any harm. I stopped using the cream about 10 days ago, and I haven't noticed any changes in my face yet. I'm worried though, is there a chance my skin might turn dark again? If that's possible, how can I keep the fair complexion I got from the cream? Would love some advice on this!
Melamet cream contains a combination of three active ingredients: Tretinoin, Hydroquinone, and Mometasone. Prolonged use of this cream can have side effects and may not be suitable for long-term use. Hydroquinone 2% is a safer alternative for skin lightening. To maintain the fairness on your face and prevent it from turning black again, you can consider using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily, along with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Additionally, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 2% under the guidance of a dermatologist to help maintain the fairness of your skin.

I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing itchy, swollen, and crunchy skin on my breast for about 10 to 15 days now. Whenever I scratch the area, it sometimes starts bleeding. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
