I've been dealing with this fungal skin issue on my butt crack, and it's really bothering me. I'm using terbinafin cream, but I'm wondering if there's another ointment I should try. Do you think taking tablets would help as well? I'd appreciate any advice you might have.
For fungal skin conditions like the one you have described, in addition to terbinafine cream, you can also apply clotrimazole cream twice a day to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth. As for oral tablets, you can consider taking fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks, but it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any oral antifungal medication. Make sure to wear loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing to promote air circulation.

I'm Pratik and I've been on a skin fairness treatment for the past two months. The doctors had me use a series of creams like MF Sone, Desosoft, Sudif, Ekran water gel, and KLM AHA. I've noticed some positive changes, but I'm currently just using MF SudiF cream, a face wash, and sunscreen. I'm worried that my skin might darken again. Can I start using MF Sone cream again if that happens? If it's not advisable, can you let me know why?
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
