Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern about aging lines, please understand that the process of aging that is the process of degeneration of the fat, collagen, skin tissues that is responsible for maintaining the skin integrity starts from the age of 30 years approximately or even before, if you are overexposed to UV (ultraviolet) radiation, have a dry scaly skin, pollution, unhealthy BMI (body mass index), and also lifestyle. Topicals like creams, serums, ointments work most of the time only when it is started as a skincare routine at the age of 30. As you are 50 years now, the alterations or the disruptions that are already caused to these skin tissues will be quite stubborn to medical treatment and you will get a better response with cosmetic therapy. Topicals can be used but in combination with the cosmetic therapy, in between the sessions and also as a maintenance treatment.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your history, you are suffering from hair loss. Having a hair fall of less than 100 strands per day is considered normal and anything above it requires treatment.

It occurs due to a dry scalp with a history of dandruff and dry skin, a history of hair straightening, use of hot irons on hair, a positive family history of hair fall and bald patches of hair loss, recent infection, fever, stress, accident, certain medications, anemia and endocrine diseases like thyroid and PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen the attached image and read your history (attachment removed to protect patient identity); from that, I understand that you may be having folliculitis lesions, that is, infection of the hair root follicle, although I could not appreciate any such lesions in the photo. As far as the veins, as shown in the image, are concerned, those are just your superficial veins that appear prominently because of your skin tone. However, if you feel tortuous thick veins protruding out on your legs, specifically the calf region, it may denote a venous insufficient state like varicosity. Varicose veins are commonly more prone to happen in people with prolonged standing hours of work or with a relevant family history.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Hope you are staying safe. ' I saw the attached photo and have read your history (attachment removed to protect patient identity). As the interdigital spaces (between the toes) are unaffected, it does not look like a fungal infection to me, and if it were, it should have subsided with the anti-fungal treatment that you took. I wanted you to answer a few of the queries to rule out psoriasis: Were the interdigital spaces affected at any time? When you itch? Do you feel it flaky/ bleeding, or does water or discharge come out of it? Are any other lesions present, especially on the scalp, elbows, or knees? Any history of prolonged exposure to water? Any relevant family history of psoriasis? It looks more like an eczema or allergy to me, and so the Clobetasol Propionate ointment.
