I'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?

-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.

I'm having this problem with itching near my genital area mainly at night, and it's been going on for like three months. I tried using fourderm cream for a week, and it helped while I was using it, but the itching came back when I stopped. So, for the past few days, I've switched to using dermiford cream along with taking three tablets of fluconazole 150, zifixime 200, and crtcip-l. Despite all this, the itching at night is still bothering me. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this itching?
That's clearly fungal infection needs treatment with oral and topical antifungal medications, visit Dermatologist for the same and maintain personal hygiene

I'm dealing with a ringworm problem that's been going on for 8 months and I'm really worried. I've taken terbinafine 200mg for a week, itraconazole 200mg for 2 months, and fluconazole 150mg for 2 weeks. I've also tried all sorts of ointments like Luliconazole, Halovate, and even medicated lotions and powders like terbinaforce plus and stuff like keto soap. But nothing's working long-term. The ringworm seems to stop while I'm on the meds, but it comes back once I finish them. What would you recommend, or is there something else I should be doing to get rid of this for good?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
