I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and FourDerm cream helped clear it up in just a few days, but now I have about 23 spots left. One of them is a noticeably bigger red spot. Are these spots part of the healing process, or should I be worried? How long might it take for my skin to look normal again?

I'm really concerned about what's going to happen if I stop using Skin Lite cream after using it for a few years. It's really helped improve my skin tone, but I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects once I stop. Also, could you recommend any healthy creams that can help me maintain the same skin tone?

Continue same treatment. Side-effects include itching,dryness and hypersensitivity reactions.

I'm dealing with a really nasty case of ringworm that's spread all over my body, and I've been on medication like itraconazole, terbinafine, griseofulvin, and fluconazole for the past 6 months. I'm getting desperate here, what else can I do to finally get rid of this?

I'm really unsure about whether I should shave my groin area or not. Could you offer some useful tips on how to do it properly if I decide to go ahead? I'm also worried about whether shaving down there might cause any infections. Just feeling a bit confused and need some advice.

Shaving the groin area is a personal preference, but if you choose to do so, useful tips include: trimming before shaving, using a clean razor and shaving cream, shaving in the direction of hair growth, avoiding shaving over the same spot multiple times, and moisturizing after shaving; however, shaving can increase the risk of ingrown hairs, razor burn, and infections like folliculitis or cellulitis, especially if proper hygiene and technique are not followed.
