I've had this semi-circle shaped rash for about 45 days now, and it's red and itchy when I touch it. It's right between my neck and chest, and I'm noticing it might be getting a bit drier. Is this just a common skin issue, or should I be more concerned about it?

The semi-circle shaped skin rash that is red, itchy, and situated between your neck and chest for 4-5 days may be a case of ringworm, also known as tinea corporis. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious if applying oil to my hair is really necessary. Does it help with hair regrowth or offer any benefits? Could you explain a bit more about this?
Applying oil to the scalp can help improve the health of the hair and scalp. It can help moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve the overall condition of the hair. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that applying oil alone can regrow hair. For hair regrowth, it is recommended to use medications like Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. This medication has been shown to promote hair regrowth in some individuals.
