I've been dealing with this jock itch for a couple of months now and it's driving me crazy. I've tried using Cloben G cream, and it seems to help while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the itch comes back. It's really uncomfortable and mostly around my inner thighs and buttocks. The skin is darker with a red, bumpy border, and lighter brown inside. I'm looking for a permanent fix. What can I do?

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.

I'm currently taking Acutret tablets and I've heard that using any cosmetic cream while on this medication might not be a good idea. Can you tell me why that is or what might happen if I do use some creams?

When taking Acutret (Isotretinoin), it is generally recommended to avoid using any cosmetic creams that contain harsh ingredients, as Isotretinoin can make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. It is best to use gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers and sunscreens. Applying creams with harsh ingredients may lead to increased skin irritation, redness, and peeling. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist for specific recommendations on skincare products while taking Acutret.

I'm looking for affordable medicated shampoo and oil options. My hair isnt too oily or completely dry, just kind of normal. But I do struggle with dandruff if I miss a shampoo for a while. What would you suggest I try?

I'm having a really tough time with hair fall lately, and after checking in with a dermatologist, they suggested I take Triboost tablets. The problem is, I can't seem to find these tablets in any medical store around Bangalore. Could you recommend an alternative that's more easily available? I'm kind of worried and would really appreciate your advice.

Yes you can take it no problem,follow your doctors advice
