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've been dealing with LPP on my neck, face, and limbs for over a year now, and it just seems like it's getting worse. My face has become really dark, and even though there are no lesions, it looks like severe hyperpigmentation. I'm using sunscreen daily and have been undergoing phototherapy for the past two months with 600mg NBUVB, but it doesn't seem to be helping. In fact, my pigmentation is getting darker, and my skin is so dry that it feels like I can see wrinkles forming. Is there a home remedy or any treatment that can help improve my complexion and skin condition without side effects? Also, should I be applying sunscreen when I go jogging in the morning from 7 to 7:30 AM, especially since my doctor advised me to avoid the sun? Any advice would be appreciated!
I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of adding topical medications such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, or corticosteroids to your treatment regimen to help improve the pigmentation. In terms of home remedies, you can consider using natural ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin C serums, or licorice extract which may help in brightening the skin tone. However, these remedies may not be as effective as prescription medications. It is crucial to continue using sunscreen, even during your morning jogging from 7 to 7:30 AM, as sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours if you are outdoors. If you are concerned about dry skin and wrinkles, you can use a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides to help hydrate the skin and improve its texture. For further improvement in complexion and skin condition, you may also discuss with your doctor about chemical peels or laser treatments that can help in reducing hyperpigmentation and rejuvenating the skin.

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've got barely any facial hair. I'm really curious about what kind of doctor I should talk to about this beard growth issue. I feel like everyone else my age has a bit more going on in the facial hair department, and it's kind of worrying me. Could it be something to do with hormones or maybe genetics? Any advice on who to consult would be awesome.
At your age, it is common to have minimal facial hair growth. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and discussion of treatment options. In some cases, minoxidil solution can be prescribed to promote facial hair growth.
