View allI'm curious about using Kojiglow cream for my combination skin. My dermatologist recommended it, along with a sunscreen to use before applying the cream. I'm supposed to use it for three months. Does this sound safe? Are there any side effects I should be worried about for my skin type?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?
The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house.

I'm from Delhi and I've been dealing with hives for a while now. I'm currently taking Allegra for them, but I'm curious about homeopathy treatments for critical hives. Do you think it's worth exploring homeopathic options, or should I just stick with what I'm doing?
-For treating critical hives with homeopathy, it's important to consult a homeopathic doctor who can tailor remedies to your specific symptoms. While Allegra helps manage hives, a personalized homeopathic approach may address the root cause more effective
