I'm living in Qatar and have been dealing with a fungal infection for about 11 months. I'm on treatment, but it doesn't seem to be working. Can you please give me some advice on what else I could try or if there's a different treatment approach I should consider?

For fungal infections that are not responding to treatment, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. However, in cases of persistent fungal infections, antifungal medications such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) or Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) may be prescribed. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the infection and your individual medical history. It's important to follow the treatment plan as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm curious about something I've come across. I know some homeopaths suggest using mother tinctures like berberis aquifolium to help with acne and scars, but I've also read that these tinctures have high levels of ethanol. I'm a bit worried because this type of alcohol is said to be drying and might not be good for facial skin. Can you please shed some light on whether ethanol is safe to use on the face?

I've been dealing with this antifungal issue for a couple of years now. Every time I use the medication prescribed by my doctor, it seems to help only temporarily, and then once I stop, the antifungal comes back. It's causing severe itching that's really uncomfortable. I'm just trying to figure out how I can get rid of this for good. Any advice would be really appreciated!
