Question

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?

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.

Question

I'm getting really worried about the darkening of my underarms. It all started after I began using deodorants, and even though I stopped, they just keep getting darker. I've tried several whitening creams and home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I've switched to using turmeric extract with lime and honey for the past four days. I wax my underarms regularly, and I don't have any medical issues that I know of. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Question

I'm really worried because I stopped using Panderm a week ago and started a new treatment, but I've noticed my skin has been getting darker. Right now, I'm using Tazar ointment, Kozivit Ultra, and Cetaphil lotion. Could this change in products be causing the darkening? What should I do?

Question

I'm really struggling with jock itch and have been using Cortizone10, but it's just not working. Do you have any suggestions for a steroid-free alternative that could help?
