I'm dealing with a really persistent fungal infection in my groin for the last couple of months. At first, I tried using fourderm cream, but it just made my skin lose color in that area. So, I went to a general physician who told me to stop that and start taking GRISOREM 250 twice a day. The itching hasn't gotten worse, but it hasn't really improved either, and now the infection is spreading. It's even reached my right armpit, and wearing jeans is becoming really uncomfortable. The skin in the groin area feels super sensitive, and the itchiness is pretty unbearable. There's a female dermatologist close by, but I'm kind of worried it'll be awkward because the problem is in my groin area. Seeing a male doctor would feel even more awkward. Is it a good idea to visit her? Or could I get a prescription through private chat? I've got pictures of the infection if that helps one shows how it looked after using fourderm, and the other is from today.

I'm dealing with some issues on my skin that have me pretty concerned. It started with red ringworms on my buttocks, and now they're spreading to my thighs and other parts of my body. I've tried using griseofulvin antifungal soap and cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you give me some advice on what to do next or suggest any other treatments?

I've been dealing with these fine lines that almost look like hives, and they get really itchy. I've already tried taking Ivered and teczine 10, and they seemed to help for a while. But now, after finishing the medication, the problem is coming back. Do you have any idea why this is happening or what else I can try?
