I've got a fungal infection like ringworm and I'm worried about what I should be eating. Is it okay to include eggs and chicken in my diet right now or should I avoid them? I'm just trying to figure out what foods might affect my recovery.

Yes, you can still eat eggs and chicken while dealing with a fungal infection like ringworm. However, it is important to avoid excessive consumption of sugary and processed foods, as they can potentially worsen the fungal infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices and following your prescribed antifungal treatment is crucial for managing ringworm effectively.

View allI'm dealing with an infection in my private area since last July. I've tried different treatments, but there's always a small patch that never fully heals, and then another one appears. I've used plenty of medicines and creams, but the issue just won't go away. Any advice on what I should do next?
When scheduled for a thyroid function test (TFT), it's recommended to withhold Thyronorm (levothyroxine) for 24-48 hours before the blood test. Taking Thyronorm on the day of the test may affect the accuracy of the results, particularly the TSH levels. Stop Thyronorm 24-48 hours prior to the test. Consult your doctor or endocrinologist for personalized advice. Follow instructions to ensure accurate test results. Reschedule the test if you've taken Thyronorm on the same day

I recently got over a bout of diarrhea, and it seems like the antibiotic ORNIO really helped. But now I'm experiencing itchiness all over my body, and I'm noticing these tiny bumps popping up on my skin. I've never had any allergies to medication before, but could this antibiotic be causing these symptoms? Can you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

I've got some blade cut marks on my hands that have been there for about 3 months now. I'm really hoping to get rid of these scars but I'm wondering if there's an alternative to laser treatment. Any advice on what else might work?
For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer. Additionally, you can also try using vitamin E oil or creams containing onion extract to help reduce the visibility of the scar. Remember to keep the area well moisturized and protected from the sun to aid in the healing process.
