I'm dealing with a skin infection and a bit of an allergy, and I'm wondering if Sporidex and Phexin are basically the same thing? Can I use them interchangeably for my treatment, or should I stick to one? I'm just a bit confused about how they work and if there's any difference between them.

I'm worried about some sort of skin infection I'm experiencing. I've got these ring-shaped patches appearing all over my skin. It started on my upper body, like my chest, back, and shoulders, but now it's spreading to my lower back and upper legs. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what I should do next? Its getting pretty concerning.

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?
