I've been struggling with dark circles under my eyes for about 7 to 8 years now, and I'm really looking for some advice on how to get rid of them. Could you suggest any effective ways or treatments?

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by various factors such as lack of sleep, stress, allergies, or genetics. To help reduce dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the skin. Additionally, make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep, stay hydrated, and protect your skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen. You can also try placing cold compresses or cucumber slices on your eyes to reduce puffiness. If these measures do not improve your dark circles, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with a frustrating fungal infection near my groin area that's causing a lot of itching and has turned the skin black in that spot. It's been going on for about four months now. I've been using Terbinaforce for around 6 to 8 weeks, and I've also been applying candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night. How long might it take to see some real improvement? Is there anything else I should be doing to help this heal?

It is likely a case of Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch. Terbinaforce is a good choice for treating fungal infections. It contains Terbinafine which is effective against various types of fungi. The usual dosage for Terbinaforce is to apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily for 2 to 4 weeks. Additionally, using Candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night is a good combination for managing the symptoms. Candid powder contains Clotrimazole which is an antifungal agent, and Clocip B cream contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which helps in reducing inflammation and itching. Continue this treatment regimen for the recommended 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results.

I've been taking Diane 35 for my PCOD, and I also have some skin issues. I'm wondering if it's okay to start using isotretinoin right after finishing Diane 35? Would there be any problems with that?

I had dengue about three months ago, and ever since, I've been losing a lot of hair. It feels like I've lost almost half of it. Can you please advise me on what I can do to stop this hair fall? I'm also really curious about whether my hair will grow back.
