I'm dealing with some penile yeast infections and also having fungal infections elsewhere on my body. I'm considering taking fluconazole and using the KZ2 cream for it. Do you think that's a good idea, or should I take a different approach?

For penile yeast infections and fungal infections on the body, you can take Fluconazole for the yeast infection. The recommended dosage for Fluconazole is usually a single 150mg dose. For the fungal infections on the body, you can use KZ 2% cream. This cream contains Ketoconazole which is effective against fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of KZ 2% cream on the affected areas once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider.

I'm 18 and I've got these dark patches on both sides of my nose, kind of like a permanent tan. I used to spend a lot of time in the sun, and it's been about three years with these patches. I've tried everything from doctor-prescribed creams to a chemical peel, and I always use sunscreen, but nothing seems to really help. The only thing that lightened them up was this Lomela cream with hydroquinone, but when I stopped using it, the patches just got darker. I'm worried and frustrated are there any creams or treatments that could help get rid of these dark patches for good?

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions

I've been dealing with these rashes on my inner thighs for the last few days, and I thought it might be from vaginal discharge. But now it's gotten worse, and the itchiness has spread to my private parts. It's really uncomfortable and sore. Im not having any trouble when I pee, and there's no smell with the discharge. What should I do about this?

It sounds like you may have a yeast infection. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing can help alleviate symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
