  5. Ive noticed a white patch first on my chin and then near my sideburns, and theres no hair growing in that area now. It looks like a fungal infection. I also had some white patches last year near my neck area. Could you suggest a cream or shampoo that could help with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection causing white patches and hair loss. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a ketoconazole shampoo like Nizoral twice a week to help treat the fungal infection on the scalp. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for both products.
