I'm really worried about my 3-year-old daughter who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Her doctor suggested applying hhfudic cream three times a day for 10 days. I'm just wondering if it's really okay to use it like that. Is there anything else I should know or do?

No need to worry that's a viral infection and is usually self limiting, follow as your doctor advised and you can use the cream no problem, hygiene practice is the main stay for cure and prevention.

I've been dealing with ringworm for about six months and haven't had any luck with the creams I've tried. Someone suggested I try Derobin cream, so I used a lot of it for around 11 hours. Now my skin is burnt and really red, especially on my thighs, penis, and testicles. It's really painful and I'm worried. Can you recommend any creams or medicine to help fix this issue?

Got diagnosed with chicken pox today and consulted two doctors, but they both only suggested taking dolo 650. I'm seeing reviews though where other doctors mention antivirals for treatment. Just feeling a bit anxious here. Should I be taking some other medication too?

My son has been having these black spots on his palms and feet lately and they're really itchy. The spots seem to be growing and they're actually under the skin, not on top. The skin over these spots feels hard, kind of like how it looks on people who do a lot of weightlifting or use shovels a lot. Plus, he sweats a lot, especially on his hands and feet. Really worried about whats going on here, any ideas?
