Clinmiskin contains the antibiotic clindamycin. It is usually prescribed with isotretinoin in the treatment of acne. It is an effective treatment which has generally shown good results. Consult with your Dermatologist before starting any medication and make sure to have regular follow up visits.

View allI've been dealing with Jock itch for a few years now, and it gets really bad during certain seasons. I've been using FourDerm regularly to try and control the itching, but the infection just won't go away. Recently, I've started going for regular morning walks, and as a result, I'm losing some weight. Now the skin around my thighs has become really sensitive and soft, and it's making me feel really uncomfortable, especially when I walk. What should I do about this? Any advice on how to manage this better?
It sounds like you are experiencing a persistent case of jock itch that is causing discomfort, especially in the thigh area. FourDerm may not be effective enough to treat the infection. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra, applying it twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?
To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.

My husband has been struggling with a recurring fungal infection, and despite trying different medications, it keeps coming back. Can you recommend a medicine that can completely get rid of it?
I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.
