I've been dealing with a skin rash that's red and slightly inflamed on my inner thigh, and it's getting a bit annoying. I decided to try Betadine Ointment, but I'm not exactly sure how often I should be applying it or how long I should keep using it. Can you give me some advice on that?

You can apply Betadine Ointment on the affected area 1-2 times daily. Make sure to clean the area before each application. You can continue using Betadine Ointment for up to 7 days, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

My hairline has been receding on the left side since around August. It's only been a few months but I'm worried it might get worse. Are there any treatments or medications that can help regrow hair or at least stop the receding? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.

Try minoxidil or finasteride (under doctor‚Äôs advice) to stop hair loss early‚Äînon-surgical treatments work better if started early.

I've got this sore on my inner thigh from my thighs rubbing together, and I've been using Betadine on it but it just won't heal. Can you tell me what else I should do?

That could be friction rub or fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
