I got my nose pierced about two weeks ago, and now there's a little red skin that's popped up around the piercing. I tried putting a neem stick in it. What should I do to help it heal? Is there something else I need to try or watch out for?

View allI'm really struggling with ringworm on my stomach, both thighs, and face. I've tried so many medicines like Hydil, Allegra, Terbinaforce cream, and Nuforce GM cream, but nothing seems to be working. I'm feeling kinda lost and worried. Do you have any advice or ideas on what I could try next?
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 dealing with an infection for quite some time now and I've tried several creams like Dermikem OC and Clocip but nothing seems to be working. Could you please suggest the right treatment for this? I'm really worried and could use some guidance.
It seems like you have a fungal infection. I would recommend using a combination of Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) and Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin). Apply Terbinafine cream twice a day and Clotrimazole cream once a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's currently 22 weeks and 4 days pregnant and recently had a viral fever. The fever's gone now, but she's experiencing some intense itching all over her body. The doctor mentioned it's a post-viral symptom, but she's been taking LCZ and using lacto calamine without any relief. What are some quick solutions or remedies she can try to ease the itching?
Consider adding an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or levocetirizine, and a topical cream like aloe vera gel or calamine lotion with 1% menthol, under medical guidance, to help alleviate itching, and also ensure your sister stays hydrated and avoids scratching to prevent infection.
