I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that I've had for over 4 months now. Initially, I thought it was just a rash that would disappear on its own, but it resembled ringworm and has all spread over the lower parts of my bum. The itching is unbearable. Around 2 months ago, I noticed a ringworm on my stomachit was small at first but now it's grown quite a bit and started spreading. I'm also seeing new ones popping up near my genital area. I'm really worried about this and need some guidance on what to do. I've started using Cosvate GM because a friend who had a similar issue suggested itis this safe to use for my condition?

I'm trying to figure out the best time to use benzoyl peroxide gel 2.5. Like, should I put it on in the morning or at night? I've heard different things, and I'm honestly not sure what would be most effective. Does it matter when I apply it, or can I use it whenever?

Can I take Perfectil vitamins if I mostly just get the occasional pimple but have really dark eyelids and circles under my eyes? My hair has been thinning as well, and I'm 25. I'm worried because it has 10 mg of biotin. Is that okay to take?

No use. The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated.

My 6-year-old has been dealing with this reddish allergy around the mouth for a week now. I started using Pecef Duo 50 oral suspension and Allegra Fexofenadine hydrochloride suspension. Is this the right approach, or should we be trying something else? I'm pretty worried and curious about what's causing it and how best to help my child. Any advice on this would be really appreciated!
