I'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable redness around my buttock area, and it's been causing quite a bit of itching and pain, especially when I sit down or if there's any rubbing. I've been using this candidb cream for about 20 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. What else can I do to get some relief or maybe even get rid of this issue? Any advice would really help.

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the buttock area. Since Candid-B cream has not been effective, I recommend trying a combination antifungal and steroid cream such as Lotriderm cream. Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help with the healing process.

View allI'm really curious about the laser treatment for removing acne scars. How many sessions would I typically need for noticeable results? And what should I realistically expect in terms of guaranteed improvement? Just trying to get a clear picture before diving into it.
Yes it works and might take minimum 3 sessions to see change and total number of sittings depends on how deep your scars are

I'm prescribed Trichodixil tablets, but they're pretty expensive compared to New Follihair tablets, which seem to have a similar or even better composition. Can I switch to Follihair instead? And about this Minokem F 5 topical solution I'm using - it's quite pricey too! Is Brintop F 5 a good alternative?
Yes ,continue all the medications. as advised.

My underarms are really dark and it's been bothering me for years. I don't want to go for surgery are there any effective creams or other non-surgical solutions that can lighten them permanently? I've even stopped wearing sleeveless clothes because of this
Dark underarms can be effectively lightened with topical creams, chemical peels, or laser treatments, but permanent lightening is not guaranteed. While some home remedies like lemon juice or turmeric might offer temporary improvements, they are not a long-term solution. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best course of action for your specific case.
