I'm pretty worried because I've had this small lump in my groin for about 6 weeks now. Initially, a general surgeon thought it was just a local infection and suggested applying follicilin, which I did for 5 weeks, but the lump didn't reduce in size. Then I saw another doctor who diagnosed it as tinea cruris fungal infection and prescribed Forcan 150 and quadriderm. He mentioned it should heal in 5 days, but it's been 5 days and there's no change. I'm concerned about why it's not healing. Do you think I need a different treatment or should I consult yet another doctor for a second opinion?

View allI keep struggling with acne on my face and back pretty much all year round. A friend mentioned I should try using MomateF cream. Is it safe or effective for back acne? What exactly does this cream do?
Momate-F cream contains Mometasone which is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling. It is primarily used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. However, it is not typically recommended for treating acne as it may not target the underlying causes of acne effectively. For acne on your back, I would recommend using a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. These ingredients are more effective in treating acne by unclogging pores, reducing bacteria, and preventing new acne breakouts. You can try using Benzac AC gel on your back acne. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to cleanse the area thoroughly before applying the gel. Remember to patch test any new product on a small area of skin before applying it to larger areas to check for any adverse reactions.

I've been dealing with a stubborn fungal infection for about 7 or 8 months now. It just keeps coming back even after trying allopathy antifungals. I heard that homeopathy might help treat it and prevent it from coming back again. Is that true? What do you think would be the best approach to finally get rid of this issue?
-It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent fungal infection. While allopathic treatments can help clear it temporarily, homeopathy might offer a more holistic approach to prevent recurrence. I'd recommend consulting a qualified homeopath who can tai

I'm using cipla 8x shampoo for hair fall because my doctor recommended it, but I actually have an oily scalp without dandruff. I wash my hair every day and Im wondering if its okay to use cipla 8x daily? I tend to use just a small amount each time.
