I've been dealing with a cracked foreskin because of a fungal infection, and I'm really worried about it. I've tried using Betamil GM ointment, but I haven't seen any improvement. Could you suggest the best medication or treatment for this issue? I'm kind of at a loss here and really need some guidance.

It seems like the fungal infection might require a more targeted treatment. I recommend consulting a doctor for an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole or Miconazole, and potentially an oral antifungal if the infection is persistent. In the meantime, keep the area dry and avoid any irritation.

I'm experiencing some allergic reactions on my face after using tretin. I was advised to start with applying it for 10 minutes, then move to 20 minutes, and eventually increase the duration gradually. But there was this one time I left it on for a longer period, and that's when I noticed these reactions. There are dry patches on the affected area now. What should I do?

I've been using xpecia gel and keraxl hair serum for about two weeks just like my dermatologist recommended. I'm concerned because Im not seeing any changes, and Ive read that my hair should be shedding if the minoxidil is doing its thing. Plus, my hair is really short since I've recently gone bald. What should I be doing differently?
