I'm really worried because I think I might have a ringworm on the shaft of my penis. The skin feels really rough, and I'm not sure what ointment to use. Could you recommend something for this?

I'm a 36-year-old woman currently on antidepressants, and lately, I've been experiencing some pretty severe hair fall. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to take Xtraglo tablets? I know they contain something called methylsulfonylmethane. Is that safe for me to use, considering my current medication? Would love some advice on this.

Yes you can use it,but reason for hair fall needs to be ruled out,visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Oily skin, exposure to sunlight or environment irritants

I've been waxing my face and ended up taking off some skin on both of my cheeks. I've been applying aloe vera gel to help it heal, but it's actually getting worse. What else can I do to fix this?

I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it to prevent infection.
