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'm really worried about this itchy groin I've had for the past couple of years. I tried using clobenategm last month for about ten days, and it seemed to clear up, but then the itch came back worse and started burning too! Now, I'm trying candidb clotrimazole gel but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? I'm really desperate for a solution.

I'm noticing these white patches on my face for the first time, and I'm not sure what's causing them. I talked to a local doctor, but it didn't really help. Can you give me some guidance on what might be going on or what I should do next? I'm starting to get a little worried.

I'm experiencing this weird issue where the inside of my mouth, like my cheeks and gums, feels really rough and kind of like sandpaper. There's also this wrinkly texture going on. It's been happening on and off for about five months now. Any ideas on what's going on or what I should do about this?
