I'm dealing with some ringworms in my genital area, and it's causing terrible itching. To make it worse, I'm also on my period right now. The area is really itchy and has turned a reddish color. I'm really uncomfortable and not sure what to do about it. Can you help me out?

You can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider.

I'm trying to tackle some dark spots and acne marks using products from the derma co line. Right now I'm using an alpha arbutin serum and I'm thinking of adding a kojic acid cream to my routine. Is it okay to use these two together? I'm just a bit concerned about how they might interact with each other. Would appreciate any advice!

Can I just use Ezanic 20 gel on my acne marks? I'm really hoping to get this cleared up, and I'd love some advice on whether that's the right approach. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Yes, you can use Ezanic 20% gel (azelaic acid) directly on acne marks to help reduce their appearance, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation; apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas only, once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take a few weeks to see noticeable improvements.
