I'm really worried about my friend who keeps getting ringworm over and over. She gets better after treatment, but then a few months later, it pops up again. Is this something serious, or does it mean something else might be going on? The doctor mentioned coming back if it happens again, do you think she should make another appointment? What steps should she take to finally get rid of it for good?

I've been using mintop for the past 30 days and haven't noticed any side effects so far. I'm thinking about continuing it for another 3 months, but I'm a bit worried about any long-term effects. Is there anything I should be aware of when using mintop 10 foam for an extended period?

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I've noticed that the skin around my penis and testicles has turned red and it's really itchy. It seems like there's some kind of sticky liquid discharge too. I've never been sexually active, so I'm unsure about what's happening. Could this be an infection or something else, and what should I do about it?

Use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this itching problem all over my body for about 2 months now, affecting the main areas too. It's really starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or how I can find some relief?

It's important to determine the underlying cause of your itching in order to provide an appropriate solution. However, based on the information provided, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching.
