I've noticed that I'm not really able to grow much facial hair. It's been something that's been bothering me because I'd love to have a fuller beard. Are there any treatments or medications out there that can help with beard growth without causing unwanted side effects? I'm curious and a bit concerned about it.

View allI've had this strange lump near my elbow on the inside of my upper left arm for a few years now. It's about 1cm across, not really visible from the outside. When I touch it, it's kind of firm, but it doesn't hurt unless I press down hard. It feels circular, and I can almost flip it upside down if I try to. Should I be worried?

I've been dealing with this stubborn fungal infection for almost 45 months now. It's between my legs near the private area and on my buttocks. Initially, it started as red patches but then turned white. My friend, who's a doctor, suggested I try IT Mac 100 tablets and ketonate cream. After sticking to this treatment for 15 days, though, the itchiness is just as bad as before. It's driving me crazy and is super annoying. Can you recommend something more effective?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, but based on your symptoms, a suitable treatment might include oral antifungals like Fluconazole (150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks) or Itraconazole (100mg twice a day for 2-4 weeks), combined with topical antifungals like Clotrimazole or Miconazole cream, and practicing good hygiene

Hey, I need some advice. I had a sexual exposure a while back and I'm kind of freaking out. I've gotten tested multiple times for HIV and STDstwo months, five months, and ten months after exposure, using HIV duo combo, RNA PCR, and ECLIA testsall negative. But now, 14 months later, I've got these weird maculo papular rashes on my chest and shoulders that darkened and peeled off. Could this be related to HIV even after all those negative tests? I'm really worried and don't know what to think.
Since your HIV tests at 10 months were negative, it is less likely that this rash is directly related to HIV. However, it is important to have a proper evaluation by a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause of the rash. In the meantime, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help with any itching. If the rash persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
