I'm a bit confused about how to use the Ekran soft gel. Do I need to be in the sun after applying it, or is that not necessary? Also, should I only put it on the affected area or spread it across my whole face?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To use Ekran Soft Gel, you should apply it evenly to the affected area of the skin. There is no need to expose the skin to the sun after applying this gel. Just make sure to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently massage it in. It is not necessary to apply it to the entire face unless directed by your doctor.

View allI'm dealing with a ringworm infection on my stomach and it's super itchy. Is Tyza cream, which contains terbinafine, the right thing to use for this? Id rather not take any oral medication and prefer treating it with just creams or ointments. Could you let me know if this is a good approach?
Yes, Terbinafine cream, sold under the brand name Tyza, is a suitable product to treat ringworm on your stomach. You can apply a thin layer of Tyza cream on the affected area once or twice daily for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. Additionally, it is important to continue the treatment for the recommended duration even if the symptoms improve earlier.

I'm thinking about starting cod liver oil capsules 'cause I've heard it does wonders for the skin and hair. But before I jump in, I'd love to know more about the benefits and any side effects I should be aware of. Also, any advice on the right dosage and when's the best time to take them?
Cod liver oil capsules are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, which can provide numerous benefits for skin and hair health. The omega-3 fatty acids help to keep the skin hydrated and may reduce inflammation, leading to improved skin texture. They can also promote hair growth and strength. However, it's important to note that cod liver oil capsules may have some side effects, such as a fishy aftertaste, bad breath, and nausea. Recommended dosage is 1-2 capsules per day.

I've got this really itchy, black, and flaky skin on my inner thighs. It gets super itchy and smelly, especially if I sit on a fiber chair for a long time. There's this weird smelly, sticky substance that starts coming out, and it's definitely not sweat. Things get worse if I skip a shower. I've tried all sorts of treatments for eczema, but nothing seems to work. My crotch is always really warm, but instead of sweating, there's this strange stuff. It's getting in the way of my social life because, even if the substance isn't there, the itch leaves a bad smell. What could this be, and how can I fix it?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
