I've been struggling with ringworm under my breast and near the vaginal and seat area for a while now. Ive tried a bunch of creams, but nothing seems to work. Its been about six months, and now my baby has it too, and so does my husband. Its really itchy and there are these red circles. What else can I do to get rid of this? Can you suggest anything that might help cure it for good?

Oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole (Diflucan) may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent further spread of the infection.

View allI'm 16, and I've started to notice some teenstaches and a bit of a beard coming in. I'm wondering if there's a specific age I should start shaving or if it's okay to begin now. Any advice on this?

I've got this burn on my right hand from spilling hot water a while back. I've been using silverkind ointment as the doctor suggested, but now I'm seeing these red pigments pop up and there's this constant itching. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the silver sulfadiazine in the Silverkind ointment. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected area with mild soap and water. You can apply a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm thinking about starting the Hair Bless tablets because I've got pretty thin hair and I'm really hoping for some growth. But I'm a bit worried about possible side effects. Do you think it's worth trying, or should I be cautious about anything specific with these tablets?
Hair Bless tablet contains biotin, folic acid, and minerals which can help promote hair growth and improve hair health. It is generally safe to use and side effects are rare. However, some people may experience minor side effects such as stomach upset or skin reactions. For thin hair, you can try using Hair Bless tablet along with a topical minoxidil solution like Mintop. Minoxidil can help stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness.
