I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection that's been going on for about 3 months. I've seen various doctors and tried all kinds of meds, but after a few days or weeks, it just comes back to the same situation. I'm dealing with these ring-like red formations on my skin that are super itchy, and they leave red patches. Any idea what might be causing this or how to actually get rid of it? It's really frustrating!

I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time now. The skin on my buttocks is really dry and itches intensely, often leading to red marks and constant peeling. I've been using Onabet lotion, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Any idea what's going on or what can help?
Use a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) followed by a thin layer of Hydrocortisone cream (such as Cortaid) on the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with a recurring corn in the same spot even after having it surgically removed. I'm considering going the ayurvedic route, maybe even something like agnikarma. My big worry is, will the skin grow back normally there? And if so, how long does that usually take? Also, I'm curious about how laser removal works for this. How does the skin heal afterward?
To address your concerns, skin regrowth after surgical removal of a corn can take several weeks to months, Agnikarma is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that can be effective in removing corns, and laser removal uses high-intensity light to target and remove affected skin tissue, with skin recovery typically taking a few days to a week.
