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 been having this issue with recurring boils on my legs that seems to come and go. They always start as these tender red spots, and then they get hard and firm. Eventually, they become these abscesses filled with pus. This has been happening for about a year now. I've seen a physician for it and tried some antibiotics, but I'm still struggling with this. What could be causing these to keep coming back, and is there anything else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?

I'm dealing with something really weird for almost a year now, the skin on my penis has been super dry. Every time I take a shower and try to clean it, the skin cracks open, which is really painful. I constantly have to put on Vaseline to stop it from drying out even more. Even the inside of the skin feels pretty dry. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I had an accident around 10 years ago that left a noticeable stitch mark on my face. I'm really curious about how I might be able to hide it with makeup or if there's a way to permanently remove it. Can you give me any advice on what might work best?
