I've been dealing with this ring guard issue on the side of my vagina since October. It's super itchy, and even though I went to a skin doctor and got some medicine, it hasn't cleared up. I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what I should do next or how I can get rid of it. Any suggestions on treatment options that might work better?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the itching and prevent further irritation.

I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've noticed that after getting PRP done on October 10th, my hair seems to be falling out more when I brush it, and it's even shedding when I wash it lately. Could this be a reaction to the PRP treatment not working well for me, or is this kind of hair fall normal after the treatment? What can I do to manage this, and how should I take care of my hair right now?
