I've got a scratch wound on my shin from climbing a rope during an obstacle course, and it's about 10 days old now. For the first few days, I used an ointment and kept it covered like my doctor suggested. Then I left it open for a couple of days and have been applying Soframycin for the last four days. Now there's this dried layer of the cream that's not coming off, and I'm having some very mild pains occasionally, but nothing too serious. How can I get this wound to heal completely?

View allI've been dealing with a fungal infection in the area between my breasts for about a week now, and I'm not sure what to do. It's really uncomfortable, and Im worried about how to get rid of it. Can you help me figure out a solution to eliminate this problem?
You can use Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole tablets 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth.

I've been reading up on vitamin D and its impact on hair health, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 23 years old and was recently told I have a vitamin D deficiency. My 25 OH hydroxy vitamin D test results show I have about 23ngmL. Could this deficiency be causing my hair loss? I'm pretty worried and would love some advice.
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hair loss, particularly alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and female pattern hair loss; with a 25(OH)D level of 23 ngmL, you have a moderate deficiency; supplementing with vitamin D (1,000-2,000 IUday) and maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin may help promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.

I'm using Proanagen for my hair, and I'm a bit confused about when to apply the solution. Should it go on after washing my hair, or is it okay before? I usually wash my hair every three days. And do I need to wash my hair straight after using the solution? My doctor suggested taking Proanagen tablets daily too, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. What's the best way to use both the solution and the tablets?
Proanagen solution for hair should be applied on dry scalp before hairwash. It is not compulsory to wash your hair immediately after applying the solution. You can apply the solution at any time, but it is recommended to leave it on for at least a few hours before washing your hair. Since you wash your hair once every 3 days, you can apply the solution on the days you do not wash your hair. As for the Proanagen tablet, you should take it daily as prescribed by your doctor.
