I'm dealing with this ringworm issue on my testicles and the area around them for the past 5-6 years, and even though I've used many antifungal creams recommended by doctors, nothing seems to work. It's especially bad when I sweat a lot in the summer, and the itching gets unbearable. Do you have any advice on how I can permanently get rid of this? Any help would be really appreciated.

I'm a bit worried because I've been using peroclin 5 for a year now, and the results have been good, but lately, I've noticed that the cream is really watery and doesn't dry up like it used to. I'm not sure if this is because they're making it differently or if it's just the hot weather. If it doesn't dry, I'm concerned it might not be as effective for my acne. Do you know of any alternatives to peroclin that could help me out?

Peroclin 5% is a benzoyl peroxide-based cream. The watery consistency might be due to the manufacturer's formulation change or storage conditions. Alternatives to Peroclin 5%: 1. *Benzoyl peroxide gels* (2.5% or 5%): Neutrogena, Clearasil, or generic versions. 2. *Adapalene gel* (0.1%): Differin, Adaferin, or generic versions. 3. *Salicylic acid products* (0.5% or 2%): Clean & Clear, Stridex, or generic versions.
