Question 1

I'm dealing with a fungal infection and currently taking fluconazole and griseofulvin. I'm thinking about applying Candiderma cream inside my vagina. Is that safe or advisable to do while I'm already on these medications?

Accepted Answer

You can continue taking fluconazole and griseofulvin systemically for your fungal infection. For vaginal fungal infections, you can use antifungal creams specifically designed for vaginal use, such as Clotrimazole cream or Miconazole cream. Apply a small amount of the cream inside the vagina as directed by the instructions on the packaging.

Question 2

I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis, and my lips are constantly dry and peeling. They even turn white when they touch water, which I think might be a side effect from some vitamin supplements I took, though I can't remember exactly which ones. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist, but I haven't noticed much improvement. Is this condition something that can be cured?

Accepted Answer

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I've been using Dettol on my pimples and thankfully, they disappeared. But now Im left with a dark spot where they used to be. The Dettol burns have healed, but this spot is quite noticeable. Any advice on how I can get rid of the dark spot? It's really bothering me.

Accepted Answer

You have burnt you skin. Dettol is not the treatment for pimples. It causes irritant burns.  This pigmetation if not treated may last forever.

I'm dealing with molluscum contagiosum and tried using Retino A ointment, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm really not keen on having surgery to remove them. Is there any other treatment option that could help get rid of molluscum?

There are many treatment modalities to get rid of this visit dermatologist for a better management.
