I've been struggling with a stubborn ringworm infection on my inner thigh, and it's just not going away. I've already tried some over-the-counter creams, but they aren't doing the trick. I'm getting pretty frustrated and worried. What else can I do to treat this persistent issue? Is there something stronger I should be using? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm really worried because after my second PRP treatment, I'm experiencing a lot more hair fall than after the first session. The hair fall after the first session seemed normal and even slowed down a lot after about 15 days, but this time it's pretty serious. I'm not using minoxidil or finasteride. Is this kind of hair shedding normal after PRP treatments? Should I be concerned?
After undergoing PRP treatment, it is normal to experience some hair shedding as part of the hair growth cycle. However, experiencing a sudden increase in hair fall after the second sitting can be concerning. It is important to monitor this closely and discuss it with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can consider using a gentle hair care routine and incorporating a hair growth promoting shampoo containing minoxidil and finasteride. Additionally, you may benefit from using a supplement like biotin to support hair health. If the hair fall persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
