I'm working the night shift and dealing with some unbearable jock itch, the itching and pain are really getting to me. Could you recommend any medicine that might help? Also, I'm wondering about what foods I should eat or avoid. Is it okay to have dal, ghee, chicken, eggs, fish, or wheat during this time? Plus, is it safe to hit the gym with this condition? Would appreciate any advice you can offer!

I've been using Minoxidil for four months now, following my dermatologist's advice, but I'm thinking about stopping it. I'm 21 years old and a bit concerned about what might happen if I do. What should I expect? Will there be any side effects or hair loss? Is it safe to just quit Minoxidil after this period?

Ask dermatologist for wheaning off ,do not stop it abruptly

I've been getting a lot of red spots on my body and they're super itchy. I've tried some home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or a skin condition such as eczema or hives. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) to help with the itching and redness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
