I've had this jock itch issue for quite some time now. I got some fungal cream from my doctor which helped for a while, but it just keeps coming back. Lately, with all the work I've been doing, it's gotten worse and now it's on my buttocks too. Today, I found a painful bump in my groin area about the size of a nickel, and pus started coming out. I looked it up and it seems like it's a boil. I'm really worried and just want to get rid of the jock itch and this boil. What should I do?

I'm dealing with some serious hair fall issues and just saw a dermatologist recently. She prescribed me a tablet that has 10 mg of biotin, 100 mg of calcium pantothenate, and 50 mg of N-acetyl cysteine in each dose. I'm a bit concerned about whether this is a safe dosage to be taking. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Safety of Hair Loss Medication_ The prescribed tablet contains: 1. _Biotin (10 mg)_: A safe and effective dose for hair loss, promoting hair growth and strengthening hair follicles. 2. _Calcium Pantothenate (100 mg)_: A form of Vitamin B5, which is essential for hair growth. This dose is within the recommended daily intake. 3. _N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) (50 mg)_: An amino acid that supports hair growth and reduces oxidative stress. This dose is relatively low and considered safe. The combination and dosages of these ingredients are generally considered safe and effective for addressing hair loss. However, it's essential to: *Follow your dermatologist's instructions *Monitor your body's response to the medication *Report any adverse effects or concerns to your dermatologist

I've been noticing a black line across my cuticle on my thumb, and it's been worrying me a bit. The skin behind it seems slightly inflamed, but the line doesn't go the entire length of the cuticlejust about halfway across the more horizontal part. It's really thin, less than a millimeter. Should I be concerned about this? Does it sound like something I need to get checked out?
