I am a male, 32, with a long-standing tinea infection that began in the groin and armpits. It was treated with oral itraconazole and topical luliconazole for 3 weeks.

Although it healed, the condition recurred after stopping treatment and has now spread. Ongoing antifungal therapy is only managing symptoms. Are there any surgical options for a permanent cure?
Stopping treatment as soon as symptoms improve is a major reason for incomplete recovery and recurrence. A duration of three weeks is too short for complete treatment. Please consult your doctor again for a longer and more appropriate course. There are no surgical options for this condition.

I am a 37-year-old female - four months postpartum, breastfeeding - experiencing severe hair fall. What safe treatments or supplements can help control it, and how long does postpartum hair loss usually last?
You can start with peptide-based hair serums, have your HB, iron, B12, and D3 reports done, and get them corrected.

I am a 40-year-old male with psoriasis affecting my palms for 15 years; it keeps recurring and worsening despite varied treatments. Are there any long-term or permanent treatment options to control this condition?
The condition can be controlled with oral immunomodulator therapy. Please consult a dermatologist.

I am a 29-year-old female struggling with painful cystic acne despite a healthy diet and skincare routine. Why does adult acne occur, and should I undergo hormonal testing?
Painful cystic acne can lead to bad acne scars later. Consult a dermatologist to initiate treatment and have reports done as suggested.
