I'm dealing with an infection in my private area since last July. I've tried different treatments, but there's always a small patch that never fully heals, and then another one appears. I've used plenty of medicines and creams, but the issue just won't go away. Any advice on what I should do next?

When scheduled for a thyroid function test (TFT), it's recommended to withhold Thyronorm (levothyroxine) for 24-48 hours before the blood test.

Taking Thyronorm on the day of the test may affect the accuracy of the results, particularly the TSH levels.

Stop Thyronorm 24-48 hours prior to the test.

Consult your doctor or endocrinologist for personalized advice.

Follow instructions to ensure accurate test results.

Reschedule the test if you've taken Thyronorm on the same day

My 3.5-year-old daughter has flaky dandruff and an itchy scalp. I've tried using lemon and vinegar, but nothing seems to be helping. Do you think Candid B lotion would be a good option for her? Would love any advice you might have.

For your daughter's flaky dandruff and itchy scalp, you can try using Nizoral shampoo. It contains ketoconazole which is effective against dandruff and scalp itching. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If the symptoms persist, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection between my legs that's been bothering me for the past few months. I've tried using antifungal creams like Soframycin, Fourderm, and Betnovate N, and while they seemed to help initially, the infection always returns after a few days, especially around my private parts. Can you suggest any stronger or more effective antifungal treatments that might help clear this up for good? It's starting to really concern me.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
