I'm starting to notice these red spots on my neck, shoulders, chest, and even a few on my stomach. They're really itchy and seem to get worse when I'm out in the sun. The skin around these spots is also feeling rough and dry. They're spreading all over and I'm getting worried. What could this be?

Hey, I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism recently, and my TSH levels are pretty high, but my T3 and T4 are normal. I'm thinking about trying PRP treatment for my hair loss. Do you think my high TSH could make PRP a bad idea?

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been around for years and it's really bothering me. It's located on my inner thighs and has left a dark brown patch. I'm not sure if my diet could be affecting this, but I am a non-vegetarian. Could you offer any advice or treatment options?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth.
