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've got these cuts on my left armsix deep, straight scars from 15 years ago that I gave myself. Now I really need to get rid of them quickly but I'm not looking to use laser treatment. I have a medical test coming up next week, and I wouldnt mind if the scars looked like an accident wound but definitely not self-inflicted. Got any advice that could help?

Consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for a scar revision or excision procedure, and for immediate camouflage, use medical-grade concealers, silicone gel sheeting, or scar tape to disguise the scars as accidental wounds, and consider explaining your situation to your doctor, as they may be able to provide a medical note or documentation to support your claim.

I've got this painful pimple near my nipple, and I think it started because of an ingrown hair. I'm really worried about it and not sure what to do next. Should I see a doctor for something like this, or is there anything I can try at home to make it go away and prevent any infection?
