I've been dealing with an issue on my face and underarms for about a year now. I've tried using luliconazole and ketoconazole ointments, and even took oral tablets like onecan and itraconazole, but nothing seems to fully solve the problem. The ketoconazole ointment seems to control it for a bit, but then it just comes back. Can you please help me figure out what's going on?

I'm a bit concerned because I started using the proanagen solution for my hair fall just like the doc suggested, but after just one use, my hair fall seems to have gotten much worse. Should I keep using it, or is this a sign I should stop? What do you think I should do?

I've had my hair smoothened twice, and now I'm noticing bald patches and a lot of hair fall. I also have PCOD, so I'm really worried if that could be making things worse. Could the treatments have caused this, or is it more related to my PCOD? What can I do to improve my hair health?

In PCOD your hair will be week hence do not try such methods which would cause more hair loss,visit dermatologist for appropriate managemnt.
