I'm a bit confused about a product I've been prescribed. It's called Konaz ZP, and I was told it should be used as a shampoo. But when I checked the label, it actually says it's a lotion. So now I'm unsure about how to properly use it. Could it be possible that there's a mix-up, or is this common? How should I go about using it as a shampoo, if it's labeled otherwise?

I'm really concerned because I have this red rash on my side, right above my waist. It started off small but has grown bigger. When I looked into it, the symptoms kind of match hives, but it also looks like ringworm. The weird part is that it doesnt really itch. Could this be something serious or is it just a rash that will go away on its own? What should I do about it?

That could be P.versicolor infection,maintain personal hygiene,visit dermatologist for appropriate management.
