View allI've been dealing with some pretty bad itching around my tailbone and the upper part of my buttocks for the past 10 days. I've tried using Calamine, and it gave me a bit of relief but hasnt really solved the issue. Im starting to wonder if it might be a fungal infection. Do you think using an antifungal cream like Livafin could help with this? I'm just trying to figure out whats going on and how to get some relief.
Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

I've got this pigmentation on my face, mainly on my cheeks, that popped up after I had my daughter three years ago. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what it might be. Could it be related to my postpartum changes, or is there something else going on? What kind of treatment or steps should I take to manage or hopefully get rid of this pigmentation?
it is normal
