I've been trying to grow thicker eyebrows for years using castor oil and olive oil but they don't seem to work at all I know genetics and hormones play a role but is there any non-surgical solution that actually helps

Castor/olive oil have minimal evidence; minoxidil-based serums or PRP therapy may offer better non-surgical eyebrow thickening.

I've been dealing with ringworm on the back of my neck for over six months now, and I'm really struggling to find relief. Ive tried using TezcortGM ointment, but every time I apply it, painful boils appear after a few days. It's really uncomfortable, but if I stop using the ointment, the ringworm spreads and gets itchy and exfoliates. I've also tried taking SAFI, but it hasn't been much help either. I've seen a doctor, but that didn't seem to work out. This condition only affects my back neck and nowhere else on my body. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to manage or cure this issue.
