I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been sticking around for about three years. I'm really into non-veg food, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to continue eating it with my condition. If it's fine, could you suggest what kind of non-veg options would be best for me? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice!

There is no indication that you are not supposed to eat non veg if you have Fungal infection,avoid foods that your allergic to, otherwise you can have nonveg food of your choice but in a healthy way and limited quantity.

I had a chemical peel on my face recently from a dermatologist, and now I've developed lichen planus. Could the peeling be the reason for it? I haven't taken any medications or done anything else that might have triggered this. I'm pretty concerned. What could be going on here?

no that wont give such reaction,visit your dermatologist to rule out the cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been struggling a lot with brittle hair and recently started experiencing severe hair loss. I'm a 29-year-old woman and have previously used Selsun shampoo for issues like dandruff and an oily scalp, and it seemed to work wonders back then. Now that I'm dealing with hair loss, I'm curious about which Selsun shampoos would be best for this problem. Could you give me some advice?
