I'm struggling with a fungal skin infection for about 10 months now and nothing seems to cure it permanently. It's really frustrating and I'm worried about why it's not going away. What should I do to get lasting relief?

You've been dealing with a fungal infection for 10 months, and it's essential to get proper treatment to avoid further complications. To cure fungal infections, antifungal medications are usually prescribed, which can come in various forms like oral medication, creams, powders, or shampoos.
In addition to medication, some natural remedies may help, such as applying tea tree oil, aloe vera, or turmeric paste to the affected area.

View allI've been dealing with this frustrating issue of having large, dry pimples mostly on the left side of my face. They sometimes hurt a bit if I press on them, and they're pretty stubbornthey never really go away completely and seem to come back over and over, taking ages to heal. I keep my face clean with face washes and mild soaps, and I don't usually use any creams or moisturizers. My job keeps me indoors, so I'm not really exposed to things like sun or pollution. I've been using Surfaz SN cream, which worked before but now doesn't seem to do much. Do you have any suggestions for creams or skin lotions that could help clear up my skin?
Seems like you are dealing with persistent acne on the left side of your face. Since Surfaz SN cream is no longer effective, I recommend trying a combination treatment. You can use a combination of Clindamycin gel in the morning and Adapalene gel at night. Apply a thin layer of Clindamycin gel in the morning after washing your face, and then apply Adapalene gel at night before bedtime. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day as these medications can increase sensitivity to the sun. Additionally, continue with your good hygiene practices and consider incorporating a gentle moisturizer into your routine to prevent dryness. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really curious about how effective homeopathic medicine is for treating skin problems. I've also heard concerns that they might contain steroids. Can you shed some light on this? How can we be sure they're safe and what should I look out for?
There are certain records saying homeopathy medicine would work,and I suggest you to go with the seriousness of your issue if it is serious better option for allopathy, and for your reference homeopathy medicine do not contain steroids.

I've had hidradenitis suppurativa for 10 years and I'm curious about CO2 surgery would it help my condition? I'm currently on medication like isotretinoin 20mg and clindamycin 300mg but still struggling with flare-ups. How effective is CO2 surgery compared to these meds and what should I expect?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
