I'm dealing with a frustrating fungal infection and I'm unsure how to choose the right antifungal cream for it. Do you have any recommendations or tips on what I should look for in a good antifungal cream? Also, are there any specific ingredients or types that are more effective than others?

I recommend using Clotrimazole cream, applying it to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks.

I've had my piercing for about 5 months now, and a week after getting it, this bump showed up that hasn't gone away. It kind of looks like a pimple. Ive been trying to get rid of it by using a neem stick, but each time I put in a new stick, the bump seems to get aggravated again. Whats going on with that? Why isn't it healing? What should I do to help it improve?

Why is Pantene the worst shampoo?

Any shampoo containing harsh ingredients such as parabens, sulphates and silicone are bad for hair. You should check for the ingredients before selecting a shampoo. Pantene also has sulphate free varieties.

I've been dealing with a corn on my left foot that needed surgery, and though the skin healed, it left a hard spot. I've had another corn since, which cleared up with a corn cap, but now there's some pain where the surgery was. Should I try using a corn cap again?

It sounds like the hard skin on your foot may be due to the formation of another corn. In this case, using a corn cap may not be the best option since it is already causing you pain. I recommend using a salicylic acid-based corn remover solution. Apply it directly to the affected area following the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can use a cushioning pad or insole to relieve pressure on the area and prevent further corn formation. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
