I've been dealing with jock itch for the past couple of years, and it's really frustrating because it keeps coming back and leaves scars. I'm using Amorolfine cream, Itraconazole capsules, and levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets, as recommended by my doctor. But how can I get rid of these scars? Any advice on what might help?

To remove the scars caused by jock itch, you can consider using a topical cream containing Mometasone furoate along with Fusidic acid. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected area once daily for a few weeks. Additionally, you can also use a scar removal gel containing Allium cepa extract and heparin. Apply this gel on the scars twice daily for better results. Remember to continue using Amorolfine cream, Itraconazole capsules, and Levocetirizine dihydrochloride tablets as prescribed by your doctor for treating the jock itch.

I'm really concerned about the melanin on my face. I'm looking for a way to reduce it without dealing with side effects. Are there any creams or tablets that can permanently get rid of melanin?

There is no getting rid of melanin completely in a short span of time.One should take necessary precautions like using good amount of sunscreen while going out and covering your face properly with scarf and so on.There are skin whitening treatments which you can try.Consult a dermatologist for the same.

Is oily hair good?

Sebum or oil is secreted from scalp which naturally nourishes the hair and keeps it healthy. Only when the secretions become excessive, they clog the hair follicles, trap dust and cause hair loss.
