I'm really struggling with jock itch that started on my groin and buttock area about 4 months ago. Now it's spreading like athlete's foot, and it's getting really frustrating. I've tried several treatments Quadriderm for the first couple of weeks and then Itch Guard for a month, but neither worked. I even consulted a doctor on Practo who suggested Onabet 2 cream and Terbinafine 250mg tablets, but there's been no improvement after a month. Is there any strong cream or treatment you would recommend for Tinea Cruris? I'm looking for something effective because nothing seems to be helping.

Question

I'm experiencing some side effects from using Nadibact, and I'm worried that smoking might make things worse. Could smoking really increase my problems or add to the side effects I'm already dealing with?

Question

I've been experiencing this strange sensation on my hands, neck, and legs like something crawling on my skin, but there's nothing there. It's like the hair on my skin is moving or standing up. I don't have any itching or rashes, though. This just started happening yesterday, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Should I see a doctor, or is there something I can do at home?

Question

I'm worried about taking Curlzfin 1mg because I've been having hair fall issues. I read about all the side effects and I'm really concerned. Plus, if I stop taking it, will the hair that's grown just fall out again? Could you please let me know if there are any long-term risks or if there's an alternative treatment?
