I'm looking for an ointment to treat jock itch but I really need one without menthol or any cooling agents. I've tried some before that had those and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Do you have any good recommendations?

You can try using Clotrimazole cream, which is effective in treating jock itch. Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks.

I'm a bit confused about a prescription I got. The dermatologist recommended Trilast Hair solution and Q Sera hair serum. Do I need to use both, or just one of them? I'm not sure what's best for my hair, and I really want to get it right. Can you help clarify this?

You were prescribed two different products: Trilast Hair solution and Q sera hair serum. You should use both as per the dermatologist's instructions. Trilast Hair solution is typically applied once daily on the scalp, while Q sera hair serum is usually applied twice daily on the affected areas. Follow the dosage and application instructions provided by your dermatologist for the best results.

I've been struggling with ringworm for the past year, and my doctor recommended itraconazole and griseofulvin, but they haven't helped at all. What should I do now?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for reassessment, as itraconazole and griseofulvin are effective treatments; alternatives or additions may include topical creams (e.g., terbinafine, clotrimazole), oral antifungals (e.g., fluconazole, posaconazole), or laser therapy; also, ensure you're using an antifungal soap, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and avoiding sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

I've been smoking for the past five years, and about a year ago, I noticed a white spot on my lips but didn't think much of it. Now I see another spot on the other side. I've quit smoking recently, but I'm worried about these spots. How can I get rid of them?
