I'm really worried about this persistent ringworm I've been dealing with lately. I've heard about creams for fungal infections that don't contain steroids, but I'm not sure which ones are effective. Can you recommend any good steroid-free creams that might help clear this up?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've noticed some white patches on my skin and I'm worried they might be a fungal infection. Should I be washing my clothes separately because of this? I'm really concerned about how this might spread or affect others in my household. What precautions should I be taking?

I had eye herpes a while back in October 2016, and since then I've been left with these scars on my forehead. It's been about four months now. I've been using Demelan cream twice a day, and at night, I apply Aziderm cream for about 15 minutes. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do you think this routine will eventually help with the scars? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

I'm dealing with the beginning stages of hair loss and my crown's getting more noticeable. I've had some serious dandruff and itching on my scalp too, and I tried this keraglo ad shampoo that worked wonders, but it made my hair super dry for a good 34 days. I saw a dermatologist at DHI, and they said I should take keraglo. But then I checked with another dermatologist who recommended using topical minoxidil with finasteride. From what I've read online, this combo seems to show good results pretty quickly, but the effects fade if you stop using them, and they aren't really supplements for deficiencies. I'm wondering if its okay to keep using keraglo or becosules while I'm on this combo. Could there be side effects if I use keraglo men with them? And is keraglo Ad shampoo safe to use over a long period?

keraglo tablet is advised, u can continue shampoo also.
