I've got this big black patch on my right shoulder called a baker nevus, and I know it's harmless, but it's become a big deal for me, especially because it messes with my confidence. People say its not a big deal, but that's easy for them to say. I find myself avoiding places where I'd need to take off my shirt like the gym or beach, and even at home, I don't like being shirtless because of it. It's really affecting me psychologically, and sometimes, I just feel really frustrated about it. What can I do to get rid of or manage it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI've been dealing with a persistent fungal infection for the past three months and nothing seems to work. I've tried loads of medicines, Patanjali products, Candid dusting powder, and even coconut oil, plus all sorts of advice from different people. Sometimes it clears up a bit, but then the itching and growth come back. I'm really at my wit's end with this. I went to see a skin specialist too, but the meds haven't helped at all in the last two months. Can you offer some advice or alternatives I can try? Its getting really frustrating.
Try a combination therapy of oral antifungal medication along with topical antifungal cream. You can start by taking Tab Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 4-6 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily on the affected area. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If there is no improvement or if the infection worsens, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Tugain 5 solution for almost 10 months now, and it's really helped with my hair loss and even encouraged some new growth. But recently, my scalp has become incredibly itchy, almost unbearable, and there's some dandruff forming too. The irritation is so intense I'm considering stopping the treatment altogether, but I'm worried about going back to losing hair. What can I do to soothe this itchy scalp and keep using Tugain without these problems cropping up?
Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been hearing a lot about oral glutathione tablets with Vitamin C for skin whitening, and I'm curious if they really work. Are there any solid clinical studies backing this up? Have you seen any noticeable results in your patients who use these oral glutathione supplements? There are so many expensive products out there, and I'd love to get some insights before making a purchase decision.
There are no proven studies to say that oral glutathione causes skin whitening. But there are patients who have taken it, and have noticed a difference. But that's not same with everyone. There are various lasers and peels available to enhance your skin color by one or two shades. Along with the procedures, vitamin C serum is definitely helpful, not only for pigmentation, but also for skin rejuvenation and as an anti aging cream.
