I've been dealing with a fungal infection and now I've noticed some stretch marks appearing too. It's really been bothering me and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice on how to treat both the infection and the marks? It's been really uncomfortable and I'm worried about it.

Stretch marks happen only if you use steroid creams. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.

View allI'm using minoxidil to help with hair growth and I've been at it for about a month now under my doctor's guidance. But I've noticed that I'm getting flaky white dandruff on my scalp from using it regularly. Is it normal to get dandruff when using minoxidil? Also, what would be the best way to handle it? I've heard that washing with anti-dandruff shampoo every day might not be great for my hair. What do you suggest?

I have two sebaceous cysts on my face and I'm not sure what to do about them. What are the treatment options available, and if surgery is needed, how much would it cost? I'm a bit worried about scarring or complications.
Sebaceous cyst treatment options range from observation to surgical removal, depending on the cyst's size, location, and whether it's causing pain or inflammation.

I'm really worried about the dark circles under my eyes; they've been there for years. I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of them. Do you know of any effective treatments? Is laser treatment a good option, or should I consider something else? I feel so frustrated with this issue and really need some advice. Can you help me out with this?
Dark circles is something that may be familial hereditary in nature and thus leading this to be a less treatable issue. However, in a lot of cases there are acquired causes - like repeated rubbing allergic condition of the eye stress anxiety depression lack of sleep etc . Its important that these issues are first addressed. You could further consider creams - but they have to be used for many months to show some visible results. Also tear trough treatment with fillers may be helpful in some cases. PRP therapy too does wonder in treating this condition.
