My husband has been struggling with a recurring fungal infection, and despite trying different medications, it keeps coming back. Can you recommend a medicine that can completely get rid of it?

I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm dealing with pimples and marks on my face and I'm currently using tivenca gel in the afternoon and at night, plus peroclin gel in the evening. I'm curious about something though when I apply the tivenca gel at night and leave it on while I sleep, then wash my face with tone n glow face wash in the morning, am I somehow reducing the effectiveness of the tivenca gel? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

No thats not true,no need to worry you are using it in a right way,follow your doctors advice
