Question

I'm a bit worried because I used antibiotic cream on a fungal infection rash, and it seems like the rash only got worse. So now I'm wondering, if I use antifungal cream on a rash that's not painful, and it ends up getting worse, could it mean it's another type of infection? Or can antifungal cream make any type of infection worse, kind of like how the antibiotic cream did?

Question

I've been dealing with an itchy groin area for years now and I end up scratching it almost every day. The skin around there has turned really dark and there are blisters on my inner thighs. There's no pain when I scratch, but it's starting to smell down there, kind of like I haven't showered. Can you suggest a remedy?

Question

I'm currently taking Zempred 4mg during the weekends, two tablets each on Saturday and Sunday for a total of one month, which adds up to 16 tablets. I've been diagnosed with lichen planus pigmentosus. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking these tablets after the one month is up? Is it generally safe to continue with this dosage for just a month?
