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.

I'm dealing with some dry and peeling skin on my scrotum, and it seems to be spreading. I've been using ketoconazole cream, but it isn't really helping. What could be going on here, and should I try a different treatment or see a doctor?

Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've had a soft tissue cell tumor on the tip of my nose for about 34 months now. It's reddish like a strawberry and was growing slowly but hasn't changed in the last month. I did CT scan and USG FNAC but they only collected blood samples. Do I need surgery for this or is there another treatment option? The color and location worry me

ent opinion is advised.
