I've recently stopped using Medisalic, which I'd been using for a couple of years due to a skin allergy. I'm looking for some cream and face wash options that won't have side effects and can help keep my skin healthy and glowing. Can you suggest anything?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?

The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house.

I'm 16, and I've started to notice some teenstaches and a bit of a beard coming in. I'm wondering if there's a specific age I should start shaving or if it's okay to begin now. Any advice on this?

I'm worried because I've noticed these black lines under my nails that run from the tip to the end. I heard it could be a type of skin cancer. If I decide to get it removed, will that treat it? I'm also curious about my chances of recovery. The lines are not very dark, more like a light black. How much would a nail biopsy typically cost, and are there any foods I should steer clear of? What might be causing these lines, and what's the best way for me to go about getting treatment?

Don't worry, having black lines beneath your nails doesn't necessarily mean you have skin cancer. In Indians and people with darker skin tones, these lines are quite common and usually harmless . However, it's always best to get a professional opinion to rule out any underlying conditions.
