I've been dealing with this fungal infection and ringworm on my stomach and neck for what feels like forever, almost 45 months. It's really bothering me, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work long-term. What could be causing it to stick around for so long, and do you have any advice on what I should try next?

I've been having some issues since taking a tablet for my kidney stones. My scalp has become really itchy, and I've noticed a lot of hair fall. Plus, I have adenomyosis, so I'm a bit worried about all these symptoms happening at once. Could they be related, or should I be looking at something else as the cause?

Hair fall and itchy scalp can be side effects of certain medications. In your case, it could be due to the tablet you took for kidney stones. I recommend using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for your itchy scalp. For hair fall, you can try minoxidil solution on your scalp. As for adenomyosis, you may benefit from taking hormonal medications such as birth control pills or a progesterone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) to help manage the symptoms.

I'm noticing these dark spots on my legs after waxing, and it seems like every time I wax, I end up with these pimples. They eventually go away but leave behind stubborn dark spots. I'm really worried and looking for an ointment or some kind of treatment to help with these dark spots on my legs. What can I do about this?

I'm a bit concerned about my hair situation. I've been using the androanagen solution with sebowash shampoo as my dermatologist prescribed. But recently, they switched my shampoo to anaphase, and now I'm noticing more hair falling out, especially from the crown area. I'm worried it might be the new shampoo. What do you think I should do?

If hair fall is noticeable due to anaphase shampoo then stop using it and visit Dermatologist for alternate treatment.
