I'm reaching out because my skin doctor diagnosed me with ringworm and suggested I use Funginil soap and cream. It's been about a month now, but the ringworm hasn't gone away. Am I on the right track with this treatment?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ringworm can sometimes be stubborn to treat. In addition to using funginil soap and cream, I recommend adding an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) cream to your treatment regimen. Apply the Terbinafine cream twice daily for at least 2 weeks. If the ringworm persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible oral antifungal medication.

View allI've been struggling with ringworm for a while now and it just won't clear up. I've already tried a bunch of ointments like Fourderm, Ring Guard, Itch Guard, and Dermi 5, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any recommendations for something more effective?
Topical Treatments* 1. *Terbinafine cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against ringworm. 2. *Clotrimazole cream or ointment*: Another antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. 3. *Econazole cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against a range of fungal infections, including ringworm. *Oral Medications* 1. *Terbinafine tablets*: If the infection is severe or widespread, oral terbinafine may be prescribed. 2. *Fluconazole tablets*: Another oral antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. *Additional Measures* 1. *Keep the affected area clean and dry*: Wash the area with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. 2. *Avoid sharing personal items*: Don't share towels, clothing, or other personal items to prevent the spread of the infection. 3. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Tight clothing can irritate the skin and make the infection worse.

I've been hearing mixed opinions about whey protein and its link to hair loss. My dermatologist told me that my hair loss might be due to whey protein, but most of my friends who also take it haven't had any issues. Could you advise if it's really safe to keep consuming whey protein?
Whey protein is generally safe, but excessive consumption may potentially contribute to hair loss due to increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, although more research is needed to confirm this link.
