I'm worried because I think a fire ant might have bitten my testicle sacks. They're swollen now, and at first, it was really itchy, but that part has stopped. Should I be concerned about the swelling? What should I do next?

I've noticed some white patchesfirst on my chin and then by the side of my headand now those areas have stopped growing hair. It seems a bit like a fungal infection, especially since I had similar white spots around my neck last year. Can you recommend a cream or shampoo that might help? I'm starting to get a bit concerned.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection causing white patches and hair loss. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a ketoconazole shampoo like Nizoral twice a week to help treat the fungal infection on the scalp. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for both products.

I had an accident three years ago, and while some marks have healed, there's still a noticeable one on the left side of my face. I'm really hoping to find a cream that could help fade this mark and maybe even get my skin looking like it did before. Any suggestions?

Thrombophobe cream for local application atleast 7-14 days is advised to the patient once daily.

My baby's skin gets really itchy and red whenever they sweat, and I'm really concerned about it. I took some advice from a skin doctor, and they recommended using Dermocalm and Eusome twice daily. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and if there's anything else I should be doing to help my little one feel more comfortable?
