Good morning, I've been struggling with this ringworm thing for about 7 months now. I've tried all sorts of meds, but it keeps coming back. I even tried a turmeric and honey paste, and it seemed to work. No more itching or pain with that. Now, my doctor has put me on itraconazole 200 for a month in the mornings and some multi-vitamins and mineral capsules in the afternoons. I'm wondering if these are the best choices for me? Also, any tips on the best foods to eat or avoid during this time? Like, is it okay to have non-veg, milk, and curd?

I got my nose pierced about two weeks ago, and now there's a little red skin that's popped up around the piercing. I tried putting a neem stick in it. What should I do to help it heal? Is there something else I need to try or watch out for?
