I've been dealing with some issues ever since I took phosphorus 30c when I was younger, around 14-18 years old. I think it might've helped increase my hair back then, but now it seems like I'm facing some side effects. I've developed seborrheic dermatitis, and even though I wash my hair daily with shampoo, small hairs keep falling from my scalp. It's been impossible to grow my hair long without things getting worse. It's been around 5 years now, and I'm really struggling. Do you think the phosphorus might've caused this, and what can I do to improve my situation?

I've had this allergy on my hand for about three months now. Initially, it seemed really small, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but recently it's grown quite big. Should I be worried about it? What steps can I take to treat it, and is it normal for it to have gotten this much worse over time?

It sounds like you may have developed a skin infection or a severe allergic reaction. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with itching and inflammation. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I've got this really itchy, black, and flaky skin on my inner thighs. It gets super itchy and smelly, especially if I sit on a fiber chair for a long time. There's this weird smelly, sticky substance that starts coming out, and it's definitely not sweat. Things get worse if I skip a shower. I've tried all sorts of treatments for eczema, but nothing seems to work. My crotch is always really warm, but instead of sweating, there's this strange stuff. It's getting in the way of my social life because, even if the substance isn't there, the itch leaves a bad smell. What could this be, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
