I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm 22 and have always had short and thin hair, just like my mom and grandma. I really want to make my hair thicker and longer. Can you tell me how long it might take for it to grow out? I'm also open to coming by your hospital for a visit.

Abhilasha, hair growth rate varies genetically, but on average, hair grows 0.3-0.4 mmday or 12 inchmonth; with proper care, nutrition, and treatment, you can promote hair growth; consider consulting a dermatologis
