I've been dealing with this really intense itching on my lower back and abdomen, and I suspect it might be a fungal infection. I'm wondering if there's a gel with clotrimazole 2 mg that I could use to help with this. Could you recommend something effective for this kind of skin issue?

I'm living in Chennai and I'm worried about the water here since it's really salty and it seems to be affecting my hair a lot. I'm noticing that I'm losing about 50 strands every time I shower, and it's freaking me out because I didn't have this problem when I was back in my hometown. Plus, my scalp has been getting super itchy. Could you recommend a good shampoo for this situation? Also, any diet tips to help strengthen my hair would be great.

Minoxidil 5.. solution for local application is advised for 3-4 weeks, if any side-effects consult dermatologist.
