I'm dealing with ringworm on and off for the last 6 months and I'm really getting frustrated. I've tried loads of medicines and it sometimes improves, but then it comes back again. It all started when I had a longer-than-usual period, and now every month around that time, it flares up again. I did see a dermatologist, and their treatment almost cleared it up, but when my period hits, it pops back up, and now it seems to be spreading more. Do you have any advice on what's going on or what I should do?

I am having ringworm for past 6 months. I have tried and applied many medicines. It becomes less sometimes and then recur again. it started at the time when I had extended period and now at that time of the month. it creates problem. I consulted a dermatologist, by his medication the ringworm almost was gone but when my period comes, it again recurs and this time it is spreading more. Please, tell somethingConsult your dermatologist or a gynecologist to discuss these factors and develop a personalized plan to manage your recurring ringworm.

I've just used Veet hair removal cream, the sensitive kind, on my testicles for over 8 minutes. Now I'm feeling a burning sensation down there, and it's looking a bit red. I'm wondering, could this be a minor chemical burn? Should I go ahead and use Neosporin on it?

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I'm having trouble finding this product, and I'm wondering if you could recommend something else with similar ingredients? It contains calamine, allantoin, and vitamin E lotion. What should I look for as a substitute?

You can consider substitutes like Calora Lotion or Calasoft, which have similar compositions, including calamine, allantoin, and vitamin E. These lotions provide relief from itching, promote skin healing, and offer moisturizing and antioxidant benefits.
