I'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some fungal infection around my penis and thighs. It's kind of like a dad type rash. I've heard about Medisalic and Fungicros cream, do you think they would work for this kind of genital fungi?

If you use medisalic or fungicross, it will cause serious and permanent damage to the skin. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like medisalic, fungicross, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams

I'm really concerned about how long it usually takes for an ear piercing to heal completely. My daughter had hers done, and it doesn't seem to be healing like it should. We're still noticing a bit of blood when we take out the earring. Is there any gel or remedy that could help speed up the healing process after a piercing?
