View allI've been struggling with ringworm for a while now and it just won't clear up. I've already tried a bunch of ointments like Fourderm, Ring Guard, Itch Guard, and Dermi 5, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any recommendations for something more effective?
Topical Treatments* 1. *Terbinafine cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against ringworm. 2. *Clotrimazole cream or ointment*: Another antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. 3. *Econazole cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against a range of fungal infections, including ringworm. *Oral Medications* 1. *Terbinafine tablets*: If the infection is severe or widespread, oral terbinafine may be prescribed. 2. *Fluconazole tablets*: Another oral antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. *Additional Measures* 1. *Keep the affected area clean and dry*: Wash the area with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. 2. *Avoid sharing personal items*: Don't share towels, clothing, or other personal items to prevent the spread of the infection. 3. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Tight clothing can irritate the skin and make the infection worse.

I've been dealing with hair loss and went to see a dermatologist who prescribed some medications. I've been using two lotions - URTO and Racine - along with biotin and vitamin tablets for about 12 days now. However, instead of getting better, my hair loss seems to have tripled. Is it possible these medications aren't working for me, or is increased hair loss a normal part of the treatment process?
Increased hair loss in the first few weeks of treatment can be normal, especially with medications like minoxidil. It's part of the transition as your hair follicles shift into a new growth phase. Stick with the treatment for a couple of months, but if you feel uncomfortable or the shedding doesnt stop, definitely reach out to your dermatologist.

I'm using minoxidil 5% topical solution, and I've noticed that my scalp has been itching since I started applying it. Do you think I should stop using it, or is this a normal side effect? Would love to get your thoughts on this.
