I'm dealing with a ringworm infection on my stomach and it's super itchy. Is Tyza cream, which contains terbinafine, the right thing to use for this? Id rather not take any oral medication and prefer treating it with just creams or ointments. Could you let me know if this is a good approach?

Yes, Terbinafine cream, sold under the brand name Tyza, is a suitable product to treat ringworm on your stomach. You can apply a thin layer of Tyza cream on the affected area once or twice daily for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. Additionally, it is important to continue the treatment for the recommended duration even if the symptoms improve earlier.

I've been struggling with frequent pimples for quite some time now. I started using Lobate GM about four years ago, but the pimples just keep coming back, especially if I try to switch my face wash. Lately, it's been really bad, mostly on my forehead, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently in Chennai working for an MNC, and it's becoming pretty frustrating to manage. Can you suggest a complete solution for this ongoing issue? It would be great if you could also recommend any ointments that might suit my skin type.

To address your persistent pimple issue, consider consulting a dermatologist in Chennai for personalized guidance; in the meantime, maintain a consistent skincare routine, use non-comedogenic products, and avoid changing face washes frequently; regarding Lobate GM cream, it contains neomycin and clotrimazole, which may not be suitable for long-term use, so consider alternative treatments like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil-based products, and for specific product recommendations, consult your dermatologist, who can prescribe suitable ointments or creams based on your skin type and condition.

I've had white hairs around my right eye for more than 30 years now, and I'm starting to feel a bit concerned about it. In my younger days, I tried some homeopathic remedies, but I haven't been on any treatment lately. Is there anything you'd suggest I look into? Could it be a sign of something more serious?
