I'm really worried about my leg fungal infection. It's been 10 days, and it just keeps getting worse. I've been trying clocip powder, but it's not helping. What should I do next?

It seems like the fungal infection on your leg is not responding to the current treatment. I recommend trying an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for at least 2 weeks. In addition, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to help the healing process.

I'm really worried because I accidentally spilled boiling milk on my right palm and fingers. Ive been in so much pain despite keeping it in cold water for 30 minutes. I even used some silverex silver nitrate gel, but the burning just isn't going away. There aren't any blisters or peeling skin, but it seems to be swollen. Can you help me figure out what to do next?

I'm dealing with this issue where I've got these white pus-filled bumps on my face, and they usually come in clusters. They're not just regular pimples but are more like pus-filled lesions, and some can be pretty painful. I did a bit of research, and it seems like it might be caused by staph bacteria. I had this same problem last year and was prescribed Minoz OD and Microdox, which cleared it up back then. Really need some advice now on how I can tackle this again. Any suggestions on what I should do?
