I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection on my back, stomach, and ear. I've been taking Itraconazole 200 mg for three months and it seemed to clear up, but now, about ten days after stopping the medication, the itching is back, especially on my back and around my ear. Could you suggest a treatment plan or medication to help me get rid of this for good?

I'm really struggling with this persistent ringworm infection. It's been 8 years now, and I'm still not able to get it under control. I've seen more than 8 doctors, tried all sorts of heavy medication, antibiotics, creams, and liquids, but nothing seems to last more than a month. I usually get some relief, but then it just comes back. It's so frustrating and I'm desperate for some help. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Is oily hair good?

Sebum or oil is secreted from scalp which naturally nourishes the hair and keeps it healthy. Only when the secretions become excessive, they clog the hair follicles, trap dust and cause hair loss.
