I've noticed this dark patch of skin on my lower abdomen for the past few months, and now there's a red border forming around it. It's not itchy or raised, and it doesn't feel any different from the surrounding skin. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

I'm dealing with a ringworm problem that's been going on for 8 months and I'm really worried. I've taken terbinafine 200mg for a week, itraconazole 200mg for 2 months, and fluconazole 150mg for 2 weeks. I've also tried all sorts of ointments like Luliconazole, Halovate, and even medicated lotions and powders like terbinaforce plus and stuff like keto soap. But nothing's working long-term. The ringworm seems to stop while I'm on the meds, but it comes back once I finish them. What would you recommend, or is there something else I should be doing to get rid of this for good?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm Siddhu and I've got some long-term acne scars on both sides of my cheeks. I've tried a bunch of creams, but they just make me look unnatural. So, I'm thinking about using a 0.5mm dermaroller on my face. I'm 18, and I'm really wondering if it's safe to use one at my age? Are there any future risks, or is it completely safe? Can you give me some honest advice and safety tips about using it on my face?

Can masturbation really cause hair loss? I'm experiencing a lot of hair thinning and I'm worried if it's linked to masturbating. Is this type of hair loss something that can be reversed?

Masturbation itself is not directly linked to hair loss. However, excessive stress, hormonal changes, or an imbalance caused by any behavior could contribute to hair thinning. If the hair loss is due to stress or hormonal factors, it may be reversible with proper care and treatment. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a personalized approach.
