I'm really worried about a fungal infection I've had for the past year. I've tried medications from different doctors, but it's just spreading all over my body, causing itching and irritation. It's tough to get any mental relief from this infection. Can you help me find a permanent solution? I'm looking for a complete cure, not just a temporary fix. It's been going on for so long, and it's really affecting my life. Also, my wife is dealing with the same issue and she's pregnant. Could this infection impact our newborn? If so, what precautions should we take to protect the baby? I've already consulted 4 doctors and tried everything from English medicine to homeopathy, but nothing is working. We desperately need the best advice and treatment for fungal infections. Can you guide us on what to do next?

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection and have been using Zole f to treat it. The cream seems to help at first, but after a few days, the infection comes back. Could you suggest a more effective treatment plan for this issue?

For fungal infections, it is important to use an antifungal medication that targets the specific type of fungus causing the infection. In this case, I recommend using a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) and Fluconazole tablets (such as Diflucan). Apply the Clotrimazole cream twice daily to the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, take one Fluconazole 150mg tablet orally, once a week for 4 weeks. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis around my eyebrows. I was using ketoconazole shampoo on my scalp, and it seemed to help, but now it's come back again. I'm really stressed about it. Could you advise me on what my options are for treatment?

I don't know what's going on, but for the past two years, my dad keeps getting these sudden scratches on his skin. We've consulted a few doctors, but nothing seems to work. Can you help us figure out what's causing this?

That looks like keratosis pilaris? if it is so take bath twice daily and use good moisturizer two times a day that will work , if it still persists visit dermatologist topical lotions.
