I'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection around my genitals and it's been a real pain for about 3 years now. I've tried creams like Soframycin and taken Candistat tablets, but nothing seems to help long-term. It tends to get worse when I sweat, and it's really itchy and turns red. Im worried and don't know what else to try. Do you have any advice on what could work or whats causing this?

A persistent fungal infection near the genitals, especially one that increases with sweat and causes itching and redness, often requires strong, prolonged antifungal treatment. If the current treatment hasnt been effective, I recommend following up with your doctor for a more tailored approach, potentially involving oral antifungal medication and more careful management of moisture and hygiene in the affected area.

I've been dealing with skin acne all over my back and hands, and it's been really frustrating. I went for a checkup and was given Kevon stay-on lotion to try, but I haven't seen any improvement. Any idea why it's not working, or is there something else I should do?

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call tropical acne. In this condition, pimples erupt on the back and shoulder area which then subside after few days with pigmentation. The treatment is not very complicated. It can be treated with tablets, creams, and soap. Maintenance treatment may be required to cover for recurrence. Please don't apply oil on your head.
