I'm dealing with a penile yeast infection that's been lingering for about a month. I saw a skin doctor who prescribed itraconazole capsules and propyzone nf cream initially, then ibisert cream afterward. Even after finishing the medication, I'm still experiencing itching inside the head and neck of my penis, which can be quite embarrassing, though there's no visible fungus anymore. Can you offer any advice on how I might be able to fully get rid of this?

I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Candid cream for local application is advised, once a day,at bed time for 2 weeks is advised.

I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?

-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.
