Question

I've been dealing with this fungal infection and ringworm on my stomach and neck for what feels like forever, almost 45 months. It's really bothering me, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work long-term. What could be causing it to stick around for so long, and do you have any advice on what I should try next?

Question

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've got a fungal infection in my genital area. I've been using Onabet cream, which has Sertaconazole Nitrate in it. I've heard that nitrogen compounds can be harmful to the skin because they can break it down. Since Onabet contains a nitrate compound, I'm worried if it's actually safe to use it in such a sensitive area. Should I keep using Onabet for my condition? I'm really in need of some advice.

Question

I'm dealing with these really itchy rashes on my thighs and groin area, but thankfully my penis isn't affected. It's really uncomfortable because it chafes, bleeds, and itches so badly that I'm scratching constantly, both day and night. I can't even sleep since I can't resist the urge to scratch. What's worrying me is that it's starting to spread to my buttocks too. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

Question

I've had this small hole in my leg for about 3 to 4 weeks now, and it just won't heal. I'm genuinely concerned and not sure what steps I should take. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?
