I've had this ringworm fungal infection for about a month and a half now, and I've been using Dermi 5 cream regularly, but it doesn't seem to be working. Could you advise me on what I should do next? I'm getting a bit worried here.

If Dermi 5 cream has not been effective in treating your ringworm infection, you can try using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.

I've been dealing with some itching around my scrotum and penis area, and a urologist said its mild folliculitis baaltod.

It's been three weeks now, and while the itching is better, it's not completely gone. What should I do next?

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I'm having some hair issues that I'm really concerned about. Every time I take a shower, I lose about 10 to 20 strands of hair, sometimes even more. It's been worrying me quite a bit, especially because I have curly hair with mild dandruff. If I skip washing my hair for just one day, my scalp gets super oily, and the dandruff gets worse. And when I shave my head, I notice patchy dandruff along with some red spots on my scalp. Is there something I should be worried about here or some steps I can take to address these?

Losing ten to twenty strands is not significant... Maybe the dandruff is causing u to lose hair a little faster than normal... Oil massage at night is good after adding a little lemon... Don't oil in the day as it attracts dust... Do it for some time.. it will definitely improve
