I've recently had rica waxing done on my hands and now I have these brown scars all over. It kinda looks like my skin got peeled off in those spots. Will this heal on its own, or is there something I should be doing to help it along?

View allI'm dealing with some pretty stubborn fungal infections and was wondering if using Safi could actually help with that. I've heard mixed things, and now I'm a bit unsure. Can you tell me how effective it is for fungal infections?

I've been using Minoxidil 5 and Finasteride 0.1 Topical Solution for the last couple of years. At first, everything seemed great, but now my hair's falling out more than ever. Plus, I'm dealing with acne as well. Could this be a sign of some hormonal imbalance? My CBC showed I'm low on Vit D3 and B12, but I've been taking the prescribed pills for that. I try to work out a bit and my diet's just regular Indian food, nothing fancy. I'm not really keen on treatments like PRP but I'm wondering if I should switch to Oral Finasteride. What do you think?

I've been dealing with scabies for half a year now and it's super frustrating. I tried some cream that starts with an L, but I had an allergic reaction to it. Then I used the Derbac lotion, like, four times, and it still hasn't worked. I even called my doctor and they said there's nothing else they can prescribe. Is there really nothing else I can do? My skin is a mess from all the scratching, and even anti-itch creams aren't helping. What should I do?
