I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection around my pubic area and inner thighs. I'm using terbina force plus cream right now. Once everything clears up, is there a powder I can use regularly to prevent it from coming back? Really hoping to keep this from happening again!

I'm dealing with some really painful boils and it's been quite tough. I'm wondering if you're able to operate on them? If so, could you let me know as soon as possible? I'm really hoping to get this sorted out quickly.
I'm here to help with advice and information, but I can't perform physical procedures like surgery. However, I can guide you on how to manage boils and offer some recommendations for treatment. Here are a couple of questions to better understand your situation: How long have you been experiencing these boils, and have they appeared before? Are you experiencing any other symptoms, like fever, or have you noticed any discharge from the boils? For treating boils, here's a general plan you could consider: Treatment Plan: Warm Compresses: Apply a warm, damp cloth to the affected area several times a day. This can help the boil drain naturally. Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate pain. Hygiene: Keep the area clean and avoid squeezing or popping the boil, as this can lead to infection. Note: Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if the infection is severe or recurrent. If the boil becomes very large, painful, or does not resolve with home treatment, incision and drainage by a healthcare professional may be necessary. Prevention: Maintain good personal hygiene. Wear loose-fitting clothes to reduce friction. Keep the skin moisturized to prevent cracking and bacterial entry.

I've noticed that my skin is getting darker every day, and I'm not sure why. My skin is naturally dry, and I have a lot of dark spots, blemishes, and dark circles. Whenever I'm out in the sun, my skin turns red and then gets even darker. I used to have a Wheaties complexion about two years ago, but recently, my skin has been darkening, even though I get 7-8 hours of sleep and I don't smoke or drink. I'm not outside that much, and when I do go out, I always apply sunscreen. Lately, I've also noticed my neck is getting darker along with the rest of my body, which used to be lighter. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I might be able to do about it?
You may be experiencing hyperpigmentation and sun-induced skin darkening. To address this issue, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, to lighten the dark spots and blemishes. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a vitamin C serum, like Celin Vitamin C Serum, in the morning to help brighten your skin and reduce dark spots. For your dry skin, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream to hydrate and nourish your skin. Apply the moisturizer twice a day, in the morning and evening, on clean skin. To address the redness and sensitivity when exposed to the sun, you can try using a gentle sunscreen specifically formulated for sensitive skin, such as Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen SPF 50. Apply the sunscreen generously on all exposed areas of your skin before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours. For your darkening neck and body, you can also use the Melalite cream on those areas, following the same application instructions as mentioned earlier.
