View allI've got this burn on my right hand from spilling hot water a while back. I've been using silverkind ointment as the doctor suggested, but now I'm seeing these red pigments pop up and there's this constant itching. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the silver sulfadiazine in the Silverkind ointment. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected area with mild soap and water. You can apply a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Meghlow cream on my face for the past couple of months, and I've noticed that my skin is getting darker than it was before. Could this be an issue with the cream or is something else going on? Also, do you have any recommendations for a better cream for both my face and neck? I've heard about Panderm NM creamwhat are your thoughts on that?
Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I'm really worried about a fungal infection I've had for the past year. I've tried medications from different doctors, but it's just spreading all over my body, causing itching and irritation. It's tough to get any mental relief from this infection. Can you help me find a permanent solution? I'm looking for a complete cure, not just a temporary fix. It's been going on for so long, and it's really affecting my life. Also, my wife is dealing with the same issue and she's pregnant. Could this infection impact our newborn? If so, what precautions should we take to protect the baby? I've already consulted 4 doctors and tried everything from English medicine to homeopathy, but nothing is working. We desperately need the best advice and treatment for fungal infections. Can you guide us on what to do next?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. Follow the prescribed antifungal regimen, including oral and topical treatments. Ensure proper hygiene, especially in moist areas prone to infection. Take steps to improve immunity by maintaining a healthy diet and managing stress.
