I'm really struggling here. I've been dealing with multiple ringworms for about five months now, and it's been so frustrating. I was taking It mac 200, and it seemed to work at first, but as soon as I stopped, the ringworms came right back, and I've noticed my skin has gotten darker in those areas too. Is there something I can do to get rid of them for good? I'm really just looking for a permanent solution.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm noticing some fat under my arms, and it's really noticeable and kind of bulging out. I'm not sure who to see about this. Should I be consulting a gynecologist or a dermatologist? What do you think?

To address this issue, you can consider using a topical fat reduction cream containing L-Carnitine. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for best results. Additionally, incorporating exercises targeting the underarm area, such as tricep dips and push-ups, can help tone and reduce fat in that area. Remember to maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to support your overall weight loss goals. If you have any underlying medical conditions or concerns, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
