I'm dealing with a pretty annoying fungal issue on both of my legs, and there's these big round rings. It's just redness, no itching at all, but I can't seem to get rid of them. I've been taking Fluka and Terbinafine, but I'm worried they aren't enough or maybe I'm missing something. Any idea what's going on or what else I should try?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection known as ringworm. Fluka (Fluconazole) and Terbinafine are commonly used antifungal medications. In addition to these, you can also consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole twice a day on the affected areas. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help the medication work effectively.

how to cure scalp psoriasis permanently

Topical creams and self care skin measures can help in relieving symptoms

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been dealing with this fungal infection for over a year now, and I regularly use CIPLA FOREDERM CREAM which makes it feel normal. But if I stop using the cream for just 2-3 days, the itching becomes so intense that I can't walk or wear pants comfortably. Can you advise me on how to cure this, and if there's a permanent treatment available? I'm really struggling with this and would appreciate some guidance.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've got this persistent dry skin peeling just above my upper lip, and it's been quite annoying. I've tried using Cetaphil and some Vaseline petroleum jelly, but nothing's really working. Do you have any other suggestions or ideas on what might help? It's starting to worry me a bit.
