I'm currently taking HCQS 200 twice a day for my skin issues, and I used to drink a lot before starting this medication. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have one drink a day or a glass of wine with dinner now. I'd really appreciate your advice.

I've been dealing with this issue for almost 10 months now. I've tried several over-the-counter antifungal creams, and they seem to cure the problem temporarily, but the infection comes back after a few weeks. I've also taken oral antifungal medication. What could be causing this recurring problem, and what should I do next to finally get rid of it?
no problem you can take.
