Podofilox solution topically. Additionally, Imiquimod cream can be applied at bedtime. For herpes infection, you can take Valacyclovir orally. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

I'm 17 and starting to notice a bit of a moustache and just a few hairs on my beard. I'm really hoping to grow more facial hair but it's not happening. Do you have any suggestions for what might help?

There's a lump on my left buttock, and this is the ninth time it's happened in the same spot. I visited a gynecologist, and she mentioned it might be an abscess. Could you help me understand what might be causing this to keep coming back? Is there anything I should be worried about, or does this require a particular treatment or lifestyle change to prevent it in the future?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I have a red rash all over my back and shoulders. They're super itchy and some are pretty painful. I've been trying Dermi Cool powder, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you help me out with this?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
