Question

My little girl is just 10 months old and she's got this nasty fungal infection in her diaper area. It's really red and I'm worried it hurts her. She cries whenever we touch that spot. Can anyone tell me how to treat this kind of fungal infection in babies? Is homoeopathy an option here?

Question

I've been dealing with some itching around my scrotum and penis area, and a urologist said its mild folliculitis baaltod. He suggested using a moisturizer and prescribed me Zocef 500, which I took for three days, then repeated for another three. I've also been applying Fourderm. It's been three weeks now, and while the itching is better, it's not completely gone. What should I do next?
