I'm dealing with a fungal infection and currently taking fluconazole and griseofulvin. I'm thinking about applying Candiderma cream inside my vagina. Is that safe or advisable to do while I'm already on these medications?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can continue taking fluconazole and griseofulvin systemically for your fungal infection. For vaginal fungal infections, you can use antifungal creams specifically designed for vaginal use, such as Clotrimazole cream or Miconazole cream. Apply a small amount of the cream inside the vagina as directed by the instructions on the packaging.

View allI've been dealing with a really sticky neck for the last couple of weeks. No matter how often I wash it, the stickiness comes back in just about 10 minutes. I'm sweating a normal amount, and I've never experienced anything like this before. I've tried washing with water and soap, but even right after a shower, my neck feels sticky again within 5 to 10 minutes. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
Sticky neck can be frustrating. Possible causes include: - Excessive sweating - Bacterial or fungal infections - Skin conditions like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis - Product buildup Try these remedies: 1. _Antibacterial soap_: Use a mild antibacterial soap to reduce bacteria. 2. _Antifungal powder_: Apply an antifungal powder to reduce fungal growth. 3. _Baby powder or talcum powder_: Absorb moisture and reduce stickiness. 4. _Apple cider vinegar_: Mix with water as a final rinse to balance skin pH. 5. _Tea tree oil_: Mix with water and apply to reduce bacterial and fungal growth.

I'm trying to tackle some dark spots and acne marks using products from the derma co line. Right now I'm using an alpha arbutin serum and I'm thinking of adding a kojic acid cream to my routine. Is it okay to use these two together? I'm just a bit concerned about how they might interact with each other. Would appreciate any advice!
