Question 3

Accepted Answer

Seems like the jock itch is not responding to the antifungal treatments you have tried. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary to treat the infection effectively. I recommend taking oral fluconazole along with continuing the topical antifungal creams. Please consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.

Question 5

What are the side effects of keraboost? And if we stop consuming it, does it increase the hairfall.?

Accepted Answer

Keraboost is a hair growth supplement that contains biotin, zinc, and other vitamins and minerals. Some common side effects of Keraboost may include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions like rash or itching may occur. If you stop consuming Keraboost, it is unlikely to directly cause an increase in hair fall. However, if Keraboost was helping to improve the health of your hair and you stop taking it, you may notice a decrease in hair quality over time. It's important to maintain a balanced diet and good hair care routine even if you stop taking the supplement.
