I've developed some rashes on my hips that resemble an infection and they're really itchy. I tried using itch guard but it didn't help. I'm quite concerned about it. Could you please advise me on what to do next?

Sounds like you may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

View allI'm dealing with a really uncomfortable situation where I've got this infection in my pubic area and nearby thighs. It's turned the skin black and the itching is seriously bad. Do you think it could be some kind of fungal infection or is it something else? I'm pretty concerned and would love some advice.
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

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.

I was prescribed Halox S solution to use before bed and then shampoo it out the next morning. However, it's just a 30ml bottle, so I'm wondering if I should be diluting the solution or using it differently to make it last longer?
No, continue same treatment as advised by the dermatologist.
