I'm struggling with these really itchy rashes on my trunk and hands. I initially tried taking fexodine 180 mg twice a day but didn't see any improvement. Then, I switched to prednisolone 20 combined with cetirizine, but it's been five days and there's still no relief. Is there anything else I should try or any advice you could give? I'm getting pretty worried about this situation.

Can I use Candid B cream for my 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter's small ringworm on her back and face? Is it safe, or should I try using fusidic cream instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay.

Don't use Candid B cream or Fusidic cream without consulting a pediatrician. For ringworm, a pediatrician may recommend antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole. Consult a pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment option for your child.

I was in the hospital for pneumonia treatment back in September, and now I've been losing a lot of hair from all over my scalp since last month. What could be causing this? Is there a chance my hair will grow back, or am I going to go bald? What kind of treatment should I be looking into?

The significant hair loss you're experiencing, known as telogen effluvium, could be triggered by the physical stress of pneumonia, high fever, or medications used during treatment, and in most cases, hair growth resumes on its own within 3-6 months without treatment
