I've noticed some white patches on my scalp after I recently shaved my head, but there's no itching or anything. Could it possibly be a fungal infection or something else? What should I do about it?

I've got this ringworm on my face, and even though Ive been using cloben g as my doctor friend suggested, it went away initially but came back bigger in the same spot. Is there something oral I can take to get rid of this fungus for good? I'm really worried it might keep spreading. What should I do?

Yes when its recurring you have to take oral anti fungal medication like ITRACONAZOLE,visit your Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've noticed that my lunula is missing on all my fingernails except for my thumbs. I'm kind of worried if this could be a sign of some underlying health issues or if it's nothing to stress about. Any insights on what could be going on?

The absence of lunula on most of your fingernails could be due to various reasons, including genetics, trauma, or certain underlying health conditions. It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking biotin supplements to support nail health

I'm struggling with dandruff all year round, no matter the weather. I've tried using lemon juice, hair oils, anti-dandruff shampoos, even henna, but nothing seems to work. It's super itchy all the time, and washing my hair every other day hasn't helped at all. I generally have dry skin, but this dandruff issue has really worsened in the past year. Could you please give me some advice on what I might try next?
