I'm worried about a burn scar I've had for about a month. There was a fire accident at my house, and I ended up with a superficial burn. It seems like only the first layer of my skin was affected. Is there anything specific I should do to help it heal better or reduce scarring?

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection and have been using Zole f to treat it. The cream seems to help at first, but after a few days, the infection comes back. Could you suggest a more effective treatment plan for this issue?

For fungal infections, it is important to use an antifungal medication that targets the specific type of fungus causing the infection. In this case, I recommend using a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) and Fluconazole tablets (such as Diflucan). Apply the Clotrimazole cream twice daily to the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, take one Fluconazole 150mg tablet orally, once a week for 4 weeks. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
