Yes, clocip dusting powder can be used to treat ringworm. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of the powder on the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Make sure to clean and dry the affected area before applying the powder.

Question

I've noticed a lump near my butt, and it really hurts when I touch it, and sometimes even when I don't. It's been there for a year, and now it feels like it's spreading from one lump to two. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Question

I'm dealing with this ringworm issue on my testicles and the area around them for the past 5-6 years, and even though I've used many antifungal creams recommended by doctors, nothing seems to work. It's especially bad when I sweat a lot in the summer, and the itching gets unbearable. Do you have any advice on how I can permanently get rid of this? Any help would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm 22 and have always had short and thin hair, just like my mom and grandma. I really want to make my hair thicker and longer. Can you tell me how long it might take for it to grow out? I'm also open to coming by your hospital for a visit.
