I've been getting these little spots on my cheeks from pimples, and I'm not sure what the best ointment is to make them go away quickly. Also, I'm dealing with some whiteheads and would love to know if there's a good solution for both. Any advice?

For both pimple spots and whiteheads, using a combination of exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid), anti-inflammatory ingredients (like niacinamide), and treatments for acne (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide) can help significantly improve your skin over time. Always make sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent worsening of dark spots.

I'm really confused about something. Every time I drink alcohol or eat non-veg food, the area with my fungal infection gets super itchy and red. My doctor said alcohol isnt the cause, but I've heard from people that it might mean there's something wrong with my liver. Could that be true? What should I do about it?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm using Folliserum for my hair fall since I was 56, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. I read somewhere that it might take up to 3-6 months to see results. Should I be more patient, or is it time to switch to a different serum? What do you suggest?

1. *Continue Follicserum usage* for at least 3-6 months. 2. *Consult a dermatologist* for personalized advice. 3. *Consider combination therapy* with minoxidil or biotin supplements. *Alternative Hair Growth Serums* 1. *Kerastase Densifique Serum* 2. *Nioxin 3-Part System* 3. *Regenepure Hair Growth Serum*
