I've been going to the gym and sweating a lot on my scalp during workouts. After these sessions, I'm taking head baths every day. It's been two weeks, and now I'm experiencing a significant amount of hair fall. Can you help me understand what's causing this?

Excessive hair fall after starting gym routine could be due to increased sweat, friction, and tension on scalp, potentially leading to conditions like telogen effluvium, scalp irritation, or fungal infections; daily shampooing may also strip your hair of natural oils, causing dryness and breakage; consider reducing shampoo frequency, using gentle products, and incorporating scalp-friendly habits like massaging and oiling.

View allI've noticed some bumps on the shaft of my penis and I think I've got an ingrown hair too. I'm really not sure what's going on. What do you think I should do about this?
For bumps on the penis shaft and ingrown hairs, try gentle exfoliation with a warm washcloth, avoid tight clothing, and use a gentle shaving cream or trimmer to reduce hair ingrowth; apply topical creams like hydrocortisone or tea tree oil to soothe inflammation, and consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist to rule out underlying conditions like folliculitis, keratosis pilaris, or genital warts.

I've been using Betnovate N for over three months to treat dark spots from acne on my face. But whenever I stop using it, my skin becomes itchy and starts burning again. I really want to find something that'll help me stop using it without those side effects. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for medications that could help?

I'm really struggling with jock itch that started on my groin and buttock area about 4 months ago. Now it's spreading like athlete's foot, and it's getting really frustrating. I've tried several treatments Quadriderm for the first couple of weeks and then Itch Guard for a month, but neither worked. I even consulted a doctor on Practo who suggested Onabet 2 cream and Terbinafine 250mg tablets, but there's been no improvement after a month. Is there any strong cream or treatment you would recommend for Tinea Cruris? I'm looking for something effective because nothing seems to be helping.
