I'm dealing with a stubborn ringworm infection in my groin area. I've been using Saibol cream, but it doesn't seem to be working, and now the infection is spreading. I'm really concerned and was wondering if using FourDerm cream and Terbicip tablets would be a better option to help clear it up. What do you think?

I've been using a clindamycin gel and isotretinoin tablet for my acne and scars for about 12 days now, but my skin seems to be getting oilier and I'm not seeing much improvement. In fact, I feel like my acne is more noticeable. Do you think I should stop using them, or is this normal and I should give it more time?
