I've got these yellow nails that are really painful, and I'm not sure who I should see about it. My fingernails are turning yellow, and it's worrying me. Any idea which doctor is best to consult for something like this?

Yellow nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or other underlying health issues. You can start by using an over-the-counter antifungal nail cream like Lamisil cream twice a day on the affected nails. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine. Make sure to keep your nails clean and dry, and avoid wearing nail polish until the condition improves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my ongoing urticaria after being diagnosed with dengue last year. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist and taking Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin, but it's impacting me mentally too. I'm planning on starting IVF soon, and I'm concerned if this condition might interfere with fertility treatments. Could you help me understand if urticaria could be a problem for IVF?

Your urticaria should not hinder your IVF treatments directly, and your current medications (Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin) are not typically known to interfere with fertility. However, its always best to consult your fertility specialist about your full medication list. The psychological aspect of dealing with chronic urticaria is valid, and managing stress will be important for both your overall well-being and fertility treatment success.

I've been wondering if using Flutivate cream on my face could help with growing facial hair. Is it actually safe to apply it for that purpose, or could there be any side effects I should know about?
