I'm dealing with a cracked foreskin and I'm trying to figure out the best ointment to use. Should I go with Cadiderma or Betamil GM for this? Also, Im wondering if I need to take Fluconazole oral tablets as well. Could you give me some guidance?

I've been struggling with ringworm for a year nowit just keeps coming and going. Every time I start on my medicines, it seems to get better, but when I stop, it just comes back after a few days. I'm taking ityza 100 mg twice daily and there's another one for allergy I take once a day. Plus, I'm using terbinafine cream. I'm worried and wondering why this keeps happening and what else I might be able to do to get rid of it for good. Any advice would be really appreciated.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've just had a pretty scary experience while riding my bike a kite thread cut my face and now I've got this burning sensation. I'm really worried and unsure what to do next. Do I need to see a dermatologist right away, or is there any cream or medicine I can apply at home to help with this? Would love some quick advice on this.

I recommend cleaning the affected area with a gentle cleanser and applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with the burning sensation. If the pain or redness persists, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
