I've got this painful boil or blister kind of thing on the corner of my left eyebrow, and it's really bothering my eyes. It's so uncomfortable that I can't even rub my eyes if I need to. What do you think I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a red, painful lump near the edge of the eyelid. You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Polysporin on the affected area. Apply it gently on the boil 2-3 times a day. You can also use warm compresses to help reduce the pain and promote drainage. Make sure to wash your hands before and after touching the area to prevent further infection. If the pain persists or if there is any vision changes, please consult an eye specialist.

I'm dealing with an itchy patch on my skin around the groin, and it's forming scales and wrinkles. I've tried all types of fungal and bacterial creams, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief?

our symptoms are suggestive of tinea cruris(jock itch). Tine cruris is a fungal infection in the groin area. It affects mostly adult men. It's caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. Dermatophytes like to grow on skin that's moist and warm and thrive in areas where skin comes into contact with other skin, such as the groin or between the toes. You will have to keep the groin dry, have an antifungal tablet, antacid and a topical antifungal over the area. The following steps may help: - Avoid using oily skin products - Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible. - Do not wear tight clothing. - Change undergarments regularly - Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating. - Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture. If the problem is persistent or worsens I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.

I've been really worried because my hair has started falling out a lot again and my crown line is receding. It all kicked off about two years ago, and even though I've been to different doctors, nothing seems to stick. Last year, in August, a doctor in Mumbai prescribed me a bunch of stuff: Capsule hair fix advance 1mg, Finax 1mg tablets, spray Grocapix, lotion Adroanagen, and Foliglo shampoo. After using these for a month, there was improvement, but now the hair fall is back. What should I do next?

According to your history it looks like androgenic alopecia if at all the above medications did work continue them as your Dermatologist advised,and balanced diet with extra protein and adequate sleep will help.

I'm starting to notice more and more white hairs popping up above my ears on both sides. It began with just one or two about a year and a half ago, but they're definitely increasing now. Should I be concerned, or is this just a normal part of aging?
