I'm dealing with a fungal infection that my doctor diagnosed about a month ago. I've been on medication, taking Candiforce 200 twice daily, and using O2 derm cream. But now I'm noticing some stretch marks and they're spreading. Is there any nonsteroidal cream you could recommend for this? Also, a friend mentioned using Alograce bathing bar from Mankind. Is that safe to use for my skin condition? Would love your take on this!

For stretch marks, consider using non-steroid creams like coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, or creams containing silicone, vitamin E, or retinol; as for Alograce bathing bar, it's specifically formulated for fungal infections and is generally safe to use, but discontinue if you experience any irritation

View allI'm dealing with this really annoying itching that's been going on since May. At first, it was just itching, but then the spots turned into these reddish round patches. I thought it might be something like ringworm, so I got some ring out ointment from the store, but the itching came back. Sometimes, it gets so bad that it even bleeds a bit. I've been using coconut oil and bathing with Dettol twice a day, but it's not helping much. It's really getting on my nerves. Any idea what could be causing this or how to make it stop?
this looks like a disease called intertrigo,this needs oral and topical antifungal agents, visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment,personal hygiene is most important in such conditions.

I'm wondering if Clobeta GM is good for treating pimples and dark spots, or if it's meant for something else. Could you explain what exactly this ointment is used for?
Clobeta GM ointment is not typically used for pimples or dark spots. It is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. The ointment contains Clobetasol, Gentamicin, and Miconazole which help reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with these skin conditions. It is important to use this ointment as directed by your healthcare provider to avoid any potential side effects.
