I'm trying to find a cream that works best for a fungal infection in the private area. There's eberconazole, luliconazole, and amorolfine or maybe theres something else that could help with itchiness and dryness? I'm just not sure which one is the most effective. Any recommendations?

Lulican 1.. cream is advised for 2 weeks and also u can take tablet levocetrizine , orally for 7 days.

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but after a week, I started to notice some redness. Now, the redness has gone down, but there's still this dark area around my mouth. Could this be hyperpigmentation from the gel, or might it be caused by something else?

side effects include nausea, headache etc , continue all the medications ..
