I've noticed some dark patches in my groin area and on my lower back, and it's getting pretty itchy and dry. Also, the skin on my minora has turned hyperpigmented and has this papillary texture, which I've only been seeing for the last few days. It's kinda concerning. What do you think might be going on?

I'm using Minscalp Plus every night, about 1ml. I used to use Minscalp 5 before that, but now Im noticing more hair fall than before and some root pain at the top. Should I stick with it, and are there any age-related side effects with these meds? Also, I'm using ZycafyM for shampooing. What do you recommend I do?

don't use too much products

I've been struggling with a fungal infection for about a month now and have tried four different lotions like Ringguard, Itchguard, Clostargm, and Funzimx, but nothing seems to be working. Can you suggest what else I might do or use to finally get rid of this issue? I'm really unsure about what step to take next and would appreciate any advice.

I've cut myself on my stomach with a compass and now it's been about 5 or 6 days, but the pain just keeps getting worse. I don't want to tell anyone 'cause I'm the one who did it. Is there anything I can do to make the pain less intense, and do you know how long it'll take for the scars to go away?
