I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?

The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house.

I've been dealing with jock itching for the past two months, and it's just not going away. I've tried using some creams, and while the itch sometimes gets a bit better, it keeps coming back. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it for good? It's really frustrating!

I've been struggling with this relentless itching on my palms and feet for the past 23 days. It's really starting to get to me. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm wondering when exactly I should be using Momate F for vitiligo, and how long it should be left on before washing it off. Could you give me some guidance on the right timing and duration?

Momate F cream is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including vitiligo. Application and Duration: 1. Apply a thin layer of Momate F cream to the affected area (vitiligo patches) once or twice a day, as directed by your doctor.1. After applying Momate F cream, wait for at least 2-3 hours before washing your face. 2. When washing your face, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, harsh soaps, or exfoliating scrubs, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils and reduce the effectiveness of the cream.
