Question

I'm really concerned about these red rings that keep appearing under my thighs. They seem to go away when I use the cream, but as soon as I stop, they come back. Occasionally, I also feel some itching on my lower back and under my hips. The only thing that seems to be working is Dermiford. Other creams didn't have any effect, but the Doxypal DR is showing some results too. Could you help me understand what's going on and how to get rid of this problem?

The recurring red rings under your thighs, accompanied by occasional itching on your lower back and under hips, may indicate a fungal infection, such as ringworm or candidiasis; the effectiveness of Dermiford and Doxypal DR creams suggests a fungal or bacterial origin; consider consulting a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and recommend a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include antifungal or antibacterial medications, in addition to topical cream

Question

I'm considering using Morr F lotion alongside Parachute oil on my scalp, but I'm not sure if it's safe to combine the two. If it's not recommended, when would be the best time to apply the lotion and the oil separately? I'm just a bit concerned about the effectiveness and potential interactions. Would love some advice on this!

Question

I've been diagnosed with LPP after a biopsy, and I'm dealing with black pigmentation on my face, underarms, and neck. At first, I didn't think much of it, but it's been spreading. I've been on medication for about six months now, using tacrolimus ointment since September 2016, and I did phototherapy for a while. But after phototherapy, my skin got so dry and dark that I just had to stop because it was really getting me down. My new doctor prescribed me Depiwhite and Pynomax TX cream for alternate nights and xamic tablets for a month. The thing is, when I looked up xamic, it seems to be meant for stopping excessive menstrual bleeding, but my periods are pretty regular, so I'm kind of worried about taking it. Could you please offer some advice on what I should do?

Question

I've been dealing with an itchy groin area for years now and I end up scratching it almost every day. The skin around there has turned really dark and there are blisters on my inner thighs. There's no pain when I scratch, but it's starting to smell down there, kind of like I haven't showered. Can you suggest a remedy?
