I'm noticing more and more fungal infections popping up on my face recently. I'm really wondering if it's a good idea to add Dettol to my bath water or not. Also, should I keep using regular soap, or could that be making things worse?

I recommend using an antifungal soap containing ketoconazole or terbinafine. You can use the soap to wash your face twice a day. Additionally, you can apply an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole on the affected areas twice a day. Make sure to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been experiencing this itching problem all over my body for about 2 months now, affecting the main areas too. It's really starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or how I can find some relief?

It's important to determine the underlying cause of your itching in order to provide an appropriate solution. However, based on the information provided, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching sensation. If the itching persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've had laser therapy about 45 times to get rid of facial hair below my eyes and above my beard line, but I stopped the sessions around a year and a half ago. Now, I'm noticing the hair is growing back on my cheeks. Do I need to go for more sessions to keep it away? And is this something I'll have to do forever? The treatment is pretty expensive at 1600 rupees per session, so I'm not keen on the idea of lifelong sessions. Plus, I'm wondering if my doctor charged me more than usual. Are there cheaper laser options available? I really need a permanent and cost-effective solution to get rid of facial hair.

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
