I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?

Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.

Is there any surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and bring back my natural black color? I started getting white hair when I was just 15, and now at 33, it's becoming more noticeable. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this and restore my original hair color.

No, there is no known surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and restore the natural black color if the cause is genetic or aging. Once a hair follicle loses its ability to produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color, it will no longer produce colored hair strands. However, if premature graying is due to underlying health issues or nutritional deficiencies, addressing these factors may help to slow down or even reverse the process.

I've been dealing with ringworm for over two months now, and I'm really worried. I've got some Dazit tablets and Itzzh Livafin cream, and I've also read about using Mupin. Is it safe to use these all together? Do you think this combo could help me get rid of it finally? I'm really concerned and would love some guidance on this.
