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?

View allI'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection on my face that's been bothering me for about a year. I was on itraconazole capsules from Dr. Reddy's and clotrimazole ointment for three months, and it seemed to clear up for a bit. But as soon as I finished the medication, it came back within a week. I'm an MBBS student at PIMS in Jalandhar, and I'm wondering if there are any injectable options available for this?

I've been dealing with really painful pimples on my face and I think they show up after I eat curd with my meals. It's been happening a lot lately, and I'm pretty concerned. Could the curd be the cause of my breakouts? I'd really appreciate any advice or insight into what's going on.

I've been dealing with some pretty bad acne, and it got worse when I accidentally rubbed it too hard, turning into an infected pus. My doctor suggested I use T bact for it, but I'm really worried about the scars it might leave behind. What can I do to help with the scarring?
