I'm wondering if Soframycin skin cream is safe to use for cuts on the glans of the penis. If it's not the best option, can you suggest another cream that's more suitable for healing glan cuts? Really looking for the best recommendation.

I would recommend using an antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bactroban. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for optimal healing. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm dealing with a stubborn ringworm infection in my groin area. I've been using Saibol cream, but it doesn't seem to be working, and now the infection is spreading. I'm really concerned and was wondering if using FourDerm cream and Terbicip tablets would be a better option to help clear it up. What do you think?

I'm really concerned about a possible connection between the medication I've been taking, Saaz DS, and developing allergies. Recently, I've noticed symptoms that remind me of ringworm, and it's making me anxious. I've been on Saaz DS 1g twice daily for about a year now. Could there be a link, and should I be worried?

Saaz DS (Sulfasalazine) is not typically used to treat allergies or ringworm. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. If you are experiencing symptoms of allergies or ringworm, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

I've got two corns right next to each other on my left index finger, and I've been using those salicylic acid corn caps to treat them, but they just keep coming back. What else can I try to finally get rid of them? Is there something I'm missing here, or maybe another treatment I should consider?
