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've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?
