I'm trying out a mix of castor oil and coconut oil on my beard to help it grow. I'm wondering if this will actually work, and if so, how long might it take to see any results?

Question

I've had this small red spot on the middle of my chest for about two years now. It's not itchy or painful, and it doesnt seem to spread to other parts of my body. I noticed it appeared after I slept with a crystal Rakhi on my chest a couple of years ago. Whenever I use an antifungal cream for a couple of weeks, it completely clears up, but then it pops back up about 10 days after I stop using the cream. I even saw a dermatologist who also suggested a cream, but it's the same thing the spot only clears up as long as I'm using it. I'm a bit worried because it hasnt disappeared for good. Should I be using a certain type of antifungal cream, or could this be indicating a bigger issue? I'm not sure what to do for complete recovery. Any advice would be helpful!

Question

I've noticed these white lines on the skin of my inner thighs. They seem a bit like stretch marks, but the skin feels thinner there. They don't hurt or itch, but they've been appearing more over the past three months and are getting longer. What's going on with my skin, and what should I do about it?
