I'm really worried about this recurring fungal infection I've had for the last 10 years. It mostly flares up on my thighs, and it's really frustrating. Do you have any suggestions on how to manage or prevent it?

This type of fungal infection in the thighs can be treated with antifungal medications. I recommend using Clotrimazole cream twice daily on the affected areas for at least 2-4 weeks. Additionally, taking Fluconazole tablets once a week for 4-6 weeks can also help in treating the infection. It is important to maintain good hygiene and keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent recurrence.

I've been noticing that my lips have gotten quite dark recently, and it's starting to worry me a bit. I've heard that vitamin B12 might help with this. Is that true, and could you recommend a specific tablet or supplement that I should try for this issue? I'm really hoping to find a good solution.

For dark lips, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements. One tablet you can use is Neurobion, which contains Vitamin B12. The recommended dosage is one tablet per day.
