I've noticed something strange with my beard recently. Some of the hairs are turning brown and a few even light brown, which is odd because all my other body hair is still black. I first thought it was maybe because of the gel I was using, but I haven't used any for the last six months, and there's been no change. Now I'm just using oil. Any idea why this is happening and how I might be able to get my beard back to its original black color?

I've been noticing rashes on my private area, and they tend to get worse whenever there's any interaction down there. If I give it a rest for a few days, the rash fades away, but the skin stays white. It's been bothering me, and I'm wondering what could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

I'm dealing with this fungal infection for the past two months. It seems to get better when I'm on medication, but the moment I finish the course, the infection comes right back. Is there something I might be missing or doing wrong? It's getting really frustrating and I could use some advice on what to do next.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
