I'm dealing with this fungal infection for the past two months. It seems to get better when I'm on medication, but the moment I finish the course, the infection comes right back. Is there something I might be missing or doing wrong? It's getting really frustrating and I could use some advice on what to do next.

I'm dealing with this persistent boil near my ankle that's been around for about 69 months now. It dries up at times, but then swells again. Ive attached a picture. Could you let me know if this is something serious?

That could be Gnaglion,get and ultrasound done and visit Surgeon for appropriate management

I'm dealing with some jock itch and picked up Lobate GM cream to help with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to use or should I stick with something like itch guard instead?

Lobate GM cream contains Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. It is not typically recommended for jock itch as it contains a steroid which may worsen fungal infections. Itch guard cream, on the other hand, contains Clotrimazole which is effective against fungal infections like jock itch. I recommend using Itch guard cream for jock itch. Apply it twice daily for 2-4 weeks for best results.
