It seems like the fungal infection on your leg is not responding to the current treatment. I recommend trying an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for at least 2 weeks. In addition, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to help the healing process.

I've been having this issue for the past 78 days where I feel an itching sensation on my body, like on my thighs, arms, and even between my fingers. When I scratch them, they turn red. I'm really curious about what's causing this. Could you help me figure out why it's happening?

Question

I've noticed that I've got these small white spots on my hand, right where the upper and lower skin meet. They've been around for quite some time, and at first, there were only a few, but now I've got a lot more. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing them and if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you shed some light on what's going on?

Question

I'm taking isotroin 10 mg as prescribed, and my doctor mentioned that my pimples might get worse before they get better. I'm just wondering, how long should I expect them to increase before I start seeing any improvement?
