Question 1

I'm dealing with a boil on my arm, and it just won't stop leaking pus. Should I put anything on it or just let it be? Is it better to keep it open or should I cover it with a band-aid and wait for it to get better? I'm a bit worried about what to do.

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I've noticed some white spots around the circumference of the head of my penis. They don't itch, but I've been having itchy areas on my thighs, groin, and testicles. I saw a dermatologist, and they prescribed Keto B cream and Incid MD tablets. It's been two weeks, and the itchy areas have improved, but the white spots on the glans haven't changed. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

The white area on the glans of the penis may be due to a fungal infection, such as candidiasis. To treat this, you can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for about 2-4 weeks. In addition, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been dealing with hair loss since 2015 and had been using minoxidil 5% for over a year. I stopped using it about 6 months ago but started again a month ago and I think the shedding phase is done. I saw a trichologist who recommended Xfolia hair gain serum and hairgain pills since I'm in a type 3 pattern. Have you heard of this Xfolia stuff? How long does it usually take to see results with this kind of treatment, because I couldn't find any info about it online?

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

My eyes look sunken with dark circles around them and I'm really worried about it. I took a picture in dim light so you can see what I mean. Are there any home remedies to fix this, or is surgery the only option? I'd prefer something natural if possible. Can you suggest what might help?
