I'm really struggling with jock itch and it's been a nightmare for the past 23 years. I've seen countless doctors, and they've all told me to use creams like Panderm, Dermikem, or to take Fluconazole tablets. They seem to work while I'm using them, but as soon as I stop, the problem comes roaring back. The skin on my inner thighs gets super thin and crazy itchy. These creams help temporarily, but the symptoms always come back. On top of this, I've gained some weight, and my face looks puffy and swollen. I'm also noticing stretch marks on my shoulders and knees, and I just feel tired and weak all the time. I'm really in a tough spot here. What can I do to finally get rid of this? Its becoming unbearable.

View allI'm dealing with scalp psoriasis and my dermatologist recommended I use Halox S lotion. I'm a bit confused about the right order of things. Should I be shampooing my hair before I put on the lotion, or is it better to shampoo after rinsing the lotion out?
Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with this seborrheic dermatitis for like five years now and it feels like I've tried almost every treatment out there. I'm starting to get really frustrated and I'm not sure what else to do. Is there something I might be missing or any other options I should consider?
In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm using minoxidil as my doctor prescribed, and I'm thinking about dyeing my hair. Do you think applying hair dye will cause any issues while I'm on minoxidil?
When using minoxidil, it's essential to exercise caution when applying hair dye: _Wait period_: Avoid applying hair dye for at least 24 hours after using minoxidil. _Patch test_: Perform a patch test with the hair dye to ensure you're not allergic to it. _Choose gentle dyes_: Opt for ammonia-free or semi-permanent hair dyes, which are less harsh. _Avoid overlapping_: Don't apply minoxidil and hair dye to the same area simultaneously.
