I've been dealing with this fungal dandruff and have been using AF 150mg along with keto B lotion for a few weeks now. It seems like the dandruff's slightly better, but Im really wondering how much longer I should keep taking this medication? Do you think theres a specific time frame for this kind of treatment, or should I just continue until it's fully gone? I don't want to stop too soon and make things worse.

That takes time and needs special care continue the same medication as your doctor adviced and maintain personal hygiene for a better result.

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been noticing that the skin on my inner thighs and especially my penis is way darker than the rest of my body, which I'm really not happy about. Plus, I've got some white spots on the back of my penisnone on the frontand I wonder if it's from masturbation. It seems like the back is more sensitive too. I've got some pictures that clearly show the difference in color and the spots. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can even out my skin tone?

please physically see a qualified dermatologist and discuss this with him
