I've been dealing with some pretty bad itching around my tailbone and the upper part of my buttocks for the past 10 days. I've tried using Calamine, and it gave me a bit of relief but hasnt really solved the issue. Im starting to wonder if it might be a fungal infection. Do you think using an antifungal cream like Livafin could help with this? I'm just trying to figure out whats going on and how to get some relief.

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

View allI've been using Safi for the past two months to help with blood purification and acne, and so far, I haven't noticed any side effects. But I'm getting mixed messages; some people say it's safe, while others warn of possible side effects. I'm feeling a bit confused and wonder if it's okay to continue using it. Should I keep using Safi for its benefits, or are there risks I should be worried about? I really need some professional guidance on this.
Safi blood purifier is a herbal remedy that is commonly used for blood purification and acne. While some people may not experience any side effects from using Safi, it is important to note that herbal remedies can still have potential side effects and interactions with other medications. If you have been using Safi for 2 months without any noticeable side effects, it may be safe for you to continue using it. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting or continuing any new medication or supplement. If you are looking for alternative options, you can consider using topical acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for acne, and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle for blood purification.

I'm dealing with hair loss and I'm wondering if it's safe to use both hair serum and minoxidil at the same time? I'm concerned about whether they might interact negatively or if one could cancel out the others effects. Do you think using them together would be beneficial, and if not, should I stick to just one of them?

I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now and it's really changed my fairness. But I know it's not good to use it long-term. What can I do to keep my skin tone the same without continuing the Skinlite cream? Any cream recommendations would be really helpful! I'm a bit worried about my skin adjusting, so any advice would be appreciated.
