I've been dealing with a fungal infection and itching around my waist and private area for the past two months. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm worried it hasn't gone away yet. I've tried keeping the area clean and dry, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Is there something else I should be doing, or could this be a sign of something more serious? What treatments would you recommend?

I'm really struggling with ingrown hairs every time I shave or use any hair removal method. It's so tough trying to get rid of them, and on top of that, I've got these strawberry legs. Even after waxing, my pores still show up, and it's been like this for years. I'm super embarrassed about how my legs look. I live in Bangalore and would really appreciate any advice you have. What can I do to improve this situation?

Ive been trying to get glowing skin, and I'm really curious about how to achieve it. Is it actually possible to make my skin glow, or is that just a myth? Any advice you could share would be great!

There can be several causes why your skin would turn dark or you may get pigmentation. Sun tan, overweight, pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans or melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. Unless someone examines you, we cannot know the cause. Unless we find out the cause it is difficult and pointless to treat.
