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 something I did while making homemade herbal hair fiber. I accidentally burned wheat and barley in a pan that had a bit of cooking oil in it. After I was done, I learned that burnt oil can release harmful and toxic chemicals. Someone told me it's still safe to use the mixture, but I'm not sure. Could you let me know if it's really okay to use, or should I just throw it away?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

My fianc has been dealing with these itchy rashes around his thighs, butt, and even on his penis for about four months now and it's really starting to get him down. He tried using some medicine for a fungal infection but it hasn't helped. It all began with these ring-like scars, then more turned up looking like pimples, and now there're rashes that resemble scratch marks. Since we're getting married in March 2018, we're both pretty worried. Does anyone have any advice on what we should do?

I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper evaluation, as there could be an underlying issue such as eczema, psoriasis, or a different fungal infection. Early treatment can help manage the symptoms and provide relief.
