I'm dealing with a frustrating fungal infection near my groin area that's causing a lot of itching and has turned the skin black in that spot. It's been going on for about four months now. I've been using Terbinaforce for around 6 to 8 weeks, and I've also been applying candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night. How long might it take to see some real improvement? Is there anything else I should be doing to help this heal?

It is likely a case of Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch. Terbinaforce is a good choice for treating fungal infections. It contains Terbinafine which is effective against various types of fungi. The usual dosage for Terbinaforce is to apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily for 2 to 4 weeks. Additionally, using Candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night is a good combination for managing the symptoms. Candid powder contains Clotrimazole which is an antifungal agent, and Clocip B cream contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which helps in reducing inflammation and itching. Continue this treatment regimen for the recommended 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results.

I'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis and I'm using Onabet SD solution. I'm a bit unsure about how long I should leave it on my hair before washing it out. Also, how many times a week should I be applying it for the best results? Any advice would be really helpful!

Can I switch from Kojivit cream to Biluma for treating my pigmentation issues? My doctor prescribed Kojivit, but I haven't seen much improvement. I'm curious if Biluma might be more effective.
