I'm struggling with a pretty uncomfortable jock itch, and I'm not sure which anti-fungal cream would be better for meLulifin or Quadriderm? Also, are there any other medications or treatments that you'd recommend for this type of issue? I've tried over-the-counter stuff, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Any guidance would be great!

The best anti-fungal cream for jock itch is lulifin cream. You can apply lulifin cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. In addition, you can take oral anti-fungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat jock itch effectively.

View allI've been using Melaglow cream for a year, applying it every night and washing it off in the morning. My skin was glowing while I was using it, but now that I've stopped, my skin is completely pigmented. It used to be fair before I started using the cream, but now it's turned dark. Is there a way to get my natural skin fairness back? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.
It's possible to restore your skin tone, but it will take time and patience. Pigmentation changes can occur due to various reasons, like stopping a product or other factors. Focus on a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen, vitamin C serums, and exfoliation. If needed, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options like chemical peels or topical treatments. Stay consistent, and your skin can gradually improve.

I'm a bit confused about using the Carel Solution. It contains coal tar topical solution USP and salicylic acid IP in an aqueous base, and I've been told to use it like a shampoo. Could you guide me on how exactly I should be applying it? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it differently than regular shampoo.

I'm struggling with a Tinea Cruris infection around my thighs and back. I used lulifin ointment with tenovate before, and it seemed to help at first, but after a month, the infection came back in the same spot. Now I'm using ZoleF ointment. Can you suggest any creams or medicines that could provide a permanent solution for this issue?
For Tinea Cruris infection, it is important to use antifungal medications consistently to prevent recurrence. In addition to Zole-F ointment, you can consider using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice daily for 2-4 weeks. It is important to continue the treatment for the full duration even if the symptoms improve to prevent the infection from coming back. Additionally, keeping the affected areas clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent reinfection.
