I've been dealing with a really itchy crotch and butt for a while now, and its really bothering me. Whenever I scratch, these scalelike things show up, and Ive noticed that the area looks darker compared to the surrounding skin. The itchiness is worse at night, and if I scratch too much, some fluid starts to come out. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

I've been experiencing rapid hair loss for the past two months. About six months ago, I had dengue and since then, I haven't used any medication for my hair. Also, I'm dealing with pimples on my face. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Can you suggest anything?

I understand your concern about rapid hair fall and pimples. Hair Fall After Dengue Fever 1. Telogen Effluvium: Dengue fever can cause Telogen Effluvium, a condition where hair enters the resting phase and falls out after a few months. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Dengue fever can lead to nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can contribute to hair loss. 3. Hormonal Imbalance: Dengue fever can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to hair loss. Pimples and Hair Fall Connection 1. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to both pimples and hair loss. 2. Stress: Stress can exacerbate both pimples and hair loss. 3. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, biotin, or vitamin B, can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.

I've been using benzoyl peroxide 2.5 for my acne. Do you think I should also be taking tretiva 10mg with it, or is benzoyl peroxide enough on its own to help clear up my skin? I'm just trying to figure out the best approach to treat my acne.

I'm dealing with ringworms and it's really itchy and annoying. It goes away for a bit but then comes back. What should I do? I've tried using excel m but it's not helping much.

Ringworm can be frustrating and uncomfortable. Understanding Ringworm Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis, is a fungal infection that affects the skin. It's highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surface. Why Ringworm Keeps Coming Back The recurrence of ringworm can be due to several factors: 1. Incomplete treatment: If the treatment is not completed or is not effective, the fungus may not be fully eliminated, leading to recurrence. 2. Contaminated environment: If the environment is not properly cleaned and disinfected, the fungus can survive and re-infect you. 3. Weakened immune system: A weakened immune system can make you more susceptible to fungal infections, including ringworm. 4. Skin-to-skin contact: Direct contact with an infected person or animal can spread the infection.
