I'm taking terbest 250mg every day for a fungal infection that's mainly on the skin of my scrotum, inside the foreskin, and on the head of my private part. There are also some tiny rashes. I've noticed that the terbest is starting to work, but I'm wondering how many days I should keep taking it?

What's the deal with sotret nf compared to just regular sotret? My doctor switched me to the nf version, and I'm curious about the difference between them. Should I be worried about changing medications?

I'm really worried about my skin. It's got heavy pigmentation with dark spots and pimples, and it just looks dull and awful, especially when I've been out in the sun. My face gets all dull and dark, with these black patches and dark circles. Even my neck has dark lines and pigmentation. Plus, I've been dealing with a fungal infection that's making me itch in private areas. What can I do to deal with all these skin issues?

For fungal infection and itching in private body parts, you can use an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation. For heavy pigmentation, dark spots, and pimples, you can use a combination of topical treatments such as hydroquinone cream for pigmentation, benzoyl peroxide for pimples, and retinoid cream for dark spots. For tanned and dull skin, you can use a sunscreen with high SPF during the day and a skin brightening cream containing ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide at night.

I'm trying to figure out how to use Kenacort 0.1% triamcinolone oromucosal gel for mouth or gum ulcers. Could you guide me on the steps? Should I just apply the gel and wait, or do I need to spit it out afterward? And what happens if I accidentally swallow some?

To apply Kenacort 0.1% Triamcinolone Oromucosal Gel for gum ulcers, you should wash your hands thoroughly before applying the gel. Take a small amount of gel on your clean fingertip. Gently apply the gel directly onto the affected gum ulcer. Avoid rubbing the gel vigorously, just spread it evenly over the ulcer. Allow the gel to remain in place and avoid rinsing your mouth or eatingdrinking for at least 30 minutes after application. Do not spit out the gel after application, let it stay on the ulcer to provide relief. If you accidentally swallow a small amount of the gel, it is generally safe. However, try to avoid swallowing it as much as possible to ensure maximum effectiveness for the ulcer. Remember to use Kenacort 0.1% Triamcinolone Oromucosal Gel as directed by your healthcare provider for the recommended duration.
