I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection on my face that's been bothering me for about a year. I was on itraconazole capsules from Dr. Reddy's and clotrimazole ointment for three months, and it seemed to clear up for a bit. But as soon as I finished the medication, it came back within a week. I'm an MBBS student at PIMS in Jalandhar, and I'm wondering if there are any injectable options available for this?

I've noticed that my fingernails used to have lunula, but now it seems like only my thumbs still have them, and even those are shrinking. I've heard that lunula is a sign of good health. What can I do to get them back? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my health.

I'm having this problem with itching near my genital area mainly at night, and it's been going on for like three months. I tried using fourderm cream for a week, and it helped while I was using it, but the itching came back when I stopped. So, for the past few days, I've switched to using dermiford cream along with taking three tablets of fluconazole 150, zifixime 200, and crtcip-l. Despite all this, the itching at night is still bothering me. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this itching?

That's clearly fungal infection needs treatment with oral and topical antifungal medications, visit Dermatologist for the same and maintain personal hygiene
