My friend left Veet on their private area for too long, like over an hour, and now the skin is badly burned, red, and super itchy, especially in the evenings. They've tried different creams but nothings helping. It's stressing them out, and theyre not really talking about it because they know it was their mistake leaving it on so long. What can they do to help heal the skin or ease the irritation?

I've been experiencing severe hair loss lately and it's really worrying me. I did all sorts of blood tests and found out I have a vitamin D deficiency. My doctor suggested taking D Rise 60k, but I'm wondering if that's the only thing causing my hair loss. Should I consider seeing a homeopathic or Ayurvedic specialist for this? What else could be causing such drastic hair loss?

I occasionally get rashes in my private areas, and this time they are really itchy. Could you let me know what might be going on and what I can do about it?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively.

I've noticed tiny black specks or dots on my skin over the last three weeks, even after I wipe. They're really small but keep appearing. Should I be worried about this?
