I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been around for years and it's really bothering me. It's located on my inner thighs and has left a dark brown patch. I'm not sure if my diet could be affecting this, but I am a non-vegetarian. Could you offer any advice or treatment options?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth.

I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that I've had for over 4 months now. Initially, I thought it was just a rash that would disappear on its own, but it resembled ringworm and has all spread over the lower parts of my bum. The itching is unbearable. Around 2 months ago, I noticed a ringworm on my stomachit was small at first but now it's grown quite a bit and started spreading. I'm also seeing new ones popping up near my genital area. I'm really worried about this and need some guidance on what to do. I've started using Cosvate GM because a friend who had a similar issue suggested itis this safe to use for my condition?

Lulican 1.. cream is advised for 2 weeks and also u can take tablet levocetrizine , orally for 7 days.

I'm dealing with these dark black marks on my face and skin, and it's been really frustrating. I've already seen a dermatologist, and they prescribed Cap Rinifol and Terramycin. Do you think these will help with my situation? Are there other treatments I should consider to get rid of these marks?
