I've been dealing with some dark patches on my inner thighs from a previous fungal infection. The infection itself seems to have cleared up, but these patches haven't faded. I'm a bit worried about why they're still there and if they'll eventually go away on their own. Should I be doing something to help them fade, or do you think this is just part of the healing process? I'm really just looking for some guidance on what to do next.

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with hair loss for the past 6 years. I just found out about Follice Rx tablets onlinedo you think they're legitimate?
I don't know about the specific brand "Follice Rx tablet", but a common medication used for hair loss is minoxidil. You can try using minoxidil solution 5% or 10% applied to the scalp once daily. It has been shown to promote hair growth in some individuals.

I've been struggling with ringworm for a while now and it just won't clear up. I've already tried a bunch of ointments like Fourderm, Ring Guard, Itch Guard, and Dermi 5, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any recommendations for something more effective?
Topical Treatments* 1. *Terbinafine cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against ringworm. 2. *Clotrimazole cream or ointment*: Another antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. 3. *Econazole cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against a range of fungal infections, including ringworm. *Oral Medications* 1. *Terbinafine tablets*: If the infection is severe or widespread, oral terbinafine may be prescribed. 2. *Fluconazole tablets*: Another oral antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. *Additional Measures* 1. *Keep the affected area clean and dry*: Wash the area with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. 2. *Avoid sharing personal items*: Don't share towels, clothing, or other personal items to prevent the spread of the infection. 3. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Tight clothing can irritate the skin and make the infection worse.

My friend has been dealing with a lot of unwanted hair growth in places like the navel and underarms. Are there any effective treatments for this that don't involve laser surgery?
Hormonal imbalance, PCOS, or genetics could cause unwanted hair. Options include waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, electrolysis, or anti-androgen medications—not only laser.
