I'm really worried about these dark toe knuckles I've had for about 34 years. Last year, I tried using HALOXS ointment, and while it seemed to work initially, it only helped for a few days. Now it doesn't seem to do anything and has even made my skin color uneven. I'm really hoping for a permanent solution to this. Any advice?

I've been dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my skin for about 6 months now. I've started using Fourderm, and while it seemed to work initially, the infection comes back after just a couple of days. I'm frustrated and unsure of what to do next. Is there something I'm missing or another treatment I should try?

Given the recurring nature of your fungal infection, consider consulting a dermatologist to reassess the treatment plan; meanwhile, continue using Fourderm cream as directed, and complement it with additional measures: keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, avoid sharing personal items, and apply an antifungal powder or spray to prevent moisture accumulation, which can help reduce the frequency of recurrence.

I'm thinking about using Mintop Pro with Procapil and I'm a bit worried about any potential sexual side effects it might have, like erectile dysfunction or impotence. Also, I'm curious if it actually provides a permanent solution and if that's achievable within just four months. Can you provide some insights on this?
