I'm struggling with this jock itch around my groin and butt area. I've tried using antifungal ointment, but it hasnt made a difference. Some spots have even turned dark, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Do you think I might need to take tablets for it?

It sounds like your jock itch may be resistant to topical treatment alone. In this case, oral anti-fungal medications may be necessary to effectively treat the infection. I recommend taking Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, continue using the anti-fungal ointment as directed for better results. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

View allI've noticed something odd ever since I shaved my head. I've got way more white hair follicles now, like around 150, whereas before there were just a few, maybe around 10. I'm wondering if my theory about this being connected is right, or if it's just a random coincidence. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how to prevent this?
Your observation is intriguing. Let's explore possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Stress-induced hair growth*: Shaving or tonsuring can cause physical stress, leading to an increase in white hair growth due to the body's response to stress. 2. *Hormonal fluctuations*: Changes in hormone levels, such as an increase in cortisol, can affect hair growth and pigmentation. 3. *Increased blood flow*: Shaving or tonsuring can increase blood flow to the scalp, potentially stimulating hair growth. 4. *Pre-existing condition*: You may have had a pre-existing condition, such as vitiligo or alopecia, that was exacerbated by the shaving or tonsuring process. *Tips to Prevent or Reduce White Hair Growth* 1. *Reduce stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 2. *Maintain a balanced diet*: Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair growth like biotin, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. 3. *Use gentle hair care products*: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos. 4. *Protect your hair from sun damage*: Use a hat or a hair serum with SPF to protect your hair from UV damage. 5. *Consider natural remedies*: Certain natural remedies like amla oil, coconut oil, and rosemary essential oil may help promote hair growth and reduce white hair.

I've had keloid scars on my chest for over 5 years and cryotherapy didn't work it just came back. I heard surgery isn't permanent either. Is there any treatment that can actually get rid of keloids for good?
