Can I use Triben B cream to lighten the marks left behind after recovering from a fungal infection? I've been using Clobetamil G as my doctor prescribed, but I'm curious if Triben B might help with the discoloration or marks. What do you think?

It's like, just when I think it's getting better and clears up, it flares back up and gets worse again after some days. It's so frustrating. I really need some advice or help on this.

-It sounds like you're dealing with persistent acne. I recommend a consistent skincare routine with gentle products, and consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, like topical or oral medications, to manage flare-ups.

I've got this round ringworm on the side of my pubic area, and I used an ointment called Flucort to treat it, but now the itchiness is getting worse. What should I do? Could it be that the ointment is making it worse, or is it just not effective for this?
stop using Flucort and consult a healthcare professional to get an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
