I'm really struggling with tinea corporis for the past year. I've tried lots of different medicines, and sometimes they help for a little while, but then the problem just comes right back. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally get rid of this for good?

To address this, I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% and Betamethasone 0.05%. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices and avoid sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

I've been noticing a lot more hair fall over the last month, and its really worrying me. It seems like my hair's getting thinner, and it hasn't been growing as long as it used to. I wash my hair with shampoo every day, but I don't use any oil. Could this be because of not getting enough protein or something else?

I'm wondering if there are any side effects to using this combo for treating dark circles and uneven skin tone. How long is it safe to use, and when might I start seeing results? I've also been dealing with skin eczema, so I'm curious about any extra care or routines I should follow after stopping the treatment, assuming it's both safe and effective. Can you help with some guidance on this?
