I'm using Sebamed sunscreen 50 but noticed that it's only SPF 30, and my oily, sensitive skin tends to look dull on some days when I use it, while other days it seems fine. I'm considering switching to a gel-based sunscreen like Sunprotek because it has good reviews. I'm just not sure about the quality and ingredients, and whether it's a physical or chemical sunscreen. Can you help clarify this?

I've been using Tugain solution to help with my hair thickness. I'm thinking about switching to Indulekha hair oil. Do you think that's a good idea? Would it still be effective for hair thickness, or should I stick with Tugain? I'm a bit concerned about making a change like this. What would you recommend?

chemical free oils would work,consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair.

I've been struggling with a ringworm fungal infection in my groin area for the last two years, and it just seems to be getting worse. I've seen multiple dermatologists, but nothing has worked so far. I'm really frustrated and don't know what to do anymore. My inner thigh has even turned black because of this! Ive tried taking Candiforce 100mg, but still no luck. I'm at my wits' end here. Do you have any suggestions for a good medicine that might help?

I understand your frustration and concern about the persistent fungal infection in your groin region. I'm here to offer some guidance and suggestions. Causes and Symptoms Ringworm, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist areas. Symptoms include: 1. Red, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin 2. Circular lesions with clear centers 3. Discoloration, including darkening of the skin Treatment Options Since you've already tried Candiforce 100mg, here are some alternative treatment options: 1. Topical antifungals: Clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine creams can be applied directly to the affected area. 2. Oral antifungals: Fluconazole, itraconazole, or ketoconazole may be prescribed for more severe cases. 3.

I've noticed some cut marks on my wrist that have turned quite dark and are looking pretty bad. I'm really concerned and wondering if there's anything I can do to help reduce these scars or lighten them up. It's really affecting how I feel about my appearance. Can you offer any advice or treatments that might work?

For treating dark and unsightly scars on your wrist, you can use a silicone gel such as Dermatix Ultra. Apply a thin layer of the gel on the scar twice daily. Additionally, you can also consider using a scar lightening cream like Mederma. Apply the cream on the scar once daily. Remember to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.
