I'm dealing with ringworm between my thighs, and it's gotten worse with lots of scratching that's causing bruises near my private parts. I've never used ketob before is it okay for me to try it?

Keto-B cream can be used to treat ringworm infections. You can apply Keto-B cream twice a day on the affected area after cleaning and drying it. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that I lose about 20 hairs every day after I take a bath and when I pull on them a bit. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of hair shedding? It's been on my mind lately, and I just want to make sure everything's okay.

I'm dealing with some discomfort from tinea cruris. Could you recommend a medication that would help with this? I'm not sure what to use and I want to make sure I choose the right treatment.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.
