Question

Is Tenovate a steroid cream? I came across two types: Tenovate cream base and Tenovate ointment base. I was told to use the cream base for my eczema blisters, but because of the dry weather, I switched to the ointment without talking to my doctor. Was that a mistake? Also, I've heard about Clobetasol being a steroid, is that true?

Question

I'm 16 and I'm noticing that I have a mustache and a bit of hair on my chin, but nothing on my cheeks, and my sideburns are pretty small. I'm feeling a bit self-conscious because everyone in my family seems to have a good beard except for one of my uncles. Someone mentioned that shaving every day for 20 days might help me grow a beard. Is that true? I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to help the hair come in, especially on my cheeks.

Question

I've been noticing this red and black spot on my right breast for a couple of days now, and there's like this light redness around it. It's really hurting whenever I touch it, and it feels kinda uncomfortable around my right underarm. I'm worried about what it might be. Any idea what could be going on?

Question

My husband has been struggling with a recurring fungal infection, and despite trying different medications, it keeps coming back. Can you recommend a medicine that can completely get rid of it?
