I've been dealing with a tinea infection recently and after consulting with my doctor, I took fluconazole tablets. While the infection is gone now, it's left me with these large black patches on my skin. Could you recommend a cream or treatment to help get my skin back to its original color?

Usually it takes time to heal and no need to worry or rush to change the treatment,have patience and give some times to heal, consume balanced diet and take adequate rest for better results.

I've been dealing with this persistent eczema on my upper lip that only seems to go away when I take Allegra for five days. But as soon as I stop, it comes right back. Is there anything else I can try that might offer a more permanent solution? I'm really worried it won't improve long-term, and I'm curious why the Allegra works but only temporarily.

You can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% on the affected area to reduce inflammation and itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for Allegra and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns.

I'm Ganesh, I'm 24, and I've been living in Chennai. I've noticed that my beard and mustache aren't really growing in a way I'd hope for. My beard has only just started to grow, but there are large patches where it still looks like normal skin with no growth at all. Even in the areas where it does grow, it's taking a really long time to gain any length. My mustache isn't much better as it appears more like a thin line just above my lip, and most of it is still like a bare surface. I'm really wanting to grow a full beard and mustache. Could you help me figure out what might be going on and what I can do about it?

It sounds like you are experiencing slow and patchy beard and mustache growth. One possible solution to promote facial hair growth is to use Minoxidil solution. You can apply Minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the areas where you want to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can consider taking Biotin supplements to support healthy hair growth. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement regimen.

I'm dealing with a hemorrhoid on my face, specifically on my cheek, and sometimes it causes an allergic reaction. I'm thinking about getting it removed, but I'm worried about potential problems afterward, like scarring or marks being left behind. Can you advise me on this?
