I'm dealing with a ringworm problem that's been going on for 8 months and I'm really worried. I've taken terbinafine 200mg for a week, itraconazole 200mg for 2 months, and fluconazole 150mg for 2 weeks. I've also tried all sorts of ointments like Luliconazole, Halovate, and even medicated lotions and powders like terbinaforce plus and stuff like keto soap. But nothing's working long-term. The ringworm seems to stop while I'm on the meds, but it comes back once I finish them. What would you recommend, or is there something else I should be doing to get rid of this for good?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been dealing with acne vulgaris on both my cheeks for a few months now, and after following my dermatologist's advice, the acne's finally under control. But now I'm left with these scars on my cheeks. Could you suggest a treatment or maybe some options to help get rid of these scars?
To help reduce the appearance of acne scars on your cheeks, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream 0.025% to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using a Vitamin C serum to help brighten and even out your skin tone. Apply a few drops of Vitamin C serum in the morning before applying sunscreen. For more severe acne scars, you may benefit from treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion. These procedures can be done by a dermatologist to help improve the texture of your skin and reduce the appearance of scars. Remember to always wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further damage and to prevent the scars from worsening.

I'm a bit confused about when to apply Epiduo and Zyclin for my back. Should I use them both during the day, or is it better to apply one in the morning and the other at night? I'd appreciate some guidance on getting the most effective results.
Both Epiduo and Zyclin are typically applied in the evening before bedtime. For Epiduo, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening. For Zyclin, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening as well. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist for the best results.
