I've noticed these grey patches on my leg and foot. They aren't causing any itching or discomfort, but I'm a bit worried about whether they need treatment or if I should see someone about them. Should I be concerned?

View allI'm really struggling with a lice issue and it's becoming overwhelming. What's the best shampoo or lotion to deal with this? I'm desperate for a solution that actually works and would love some guidance.
For treating a lice infestation, I recommend using **Nix** (Permethrin) shampoo or **Rid** (Piperonyl butoxide and Pyrethrum extract) shampoo. Follow the instructions on the packaging for proper application. Additionally, make sure to comb out the dead lice and nits from the hair using a fine-toothed comb.

I've been hearing mixed opinions about whey protein and its link to hair loss. My dermatologist told me that my hair loss might be due to whey protein, but most of my friends who also take it haven't had any issues. Could you advise if it's really safe to keep consuming whey protein?
Whey protein is generally safe, but excessive consumption may potentially contribute to hair loss due to increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, although more research is needed to confirm this link.

I've developed some rashes on my hips that resemble an infection and they're really itchy. I tried using itch guard but it didn't help. I'm quite concerned about it. Could you please advise me on what to do next?
Sounds like you may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider.
