View allI've been struggling with ringworm for a year nowit just keeps coming and going. Every time I start on my medicines, it seems to get better, but when I stop, it just comes back after a few days. I'm taking ityza 100 mg twice daily and there's another one for allergy I take once a day. Plus, I'm using terbinafine cream. I'm worried and wondering why this keeps happening and what else I might be able to do to get rid of it for good. Any advice would be really appreciated.
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been having some issues since I tested positive for COVID on May 4th. At first, everything seemed fine, but about 2.5 weeks later, I noticed an allergy cropping up at the corners of my mouth. I tried using Sebamed lip balm during the day and Laneige lip sleeping mask at night, but the allergy spread to my upper and lower lips. Swelling and a burning sensation followed, and now there's even a rash on my face. I've also tried Vaseline, but no luck. What could this be, and how can I treat it? Would love some guidance!
Sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. I recommend stopping the use of all lip products and petroleum jelly for now. You can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to help with the itching and swelling. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream 1% on the affected areas of your lips and face twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to avoid any known allergens or irritants, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm currently undergoing PRP treatment and I'm wondering if it's safe to use Minoxidil at the same time. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Yes, you can use Minoxidil during PRP treatment for hair loss. Minoxidil is a common medication used to promote hair growth and can be used in conjunction with PRP therapy. The usual dosage for Minoxidil is applying 1ml of solution to the affected area twice daily.
