Question 1

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection on my face that's been bothering me for about a year. I was on itraconazole capsules from Dr. Reddy's and clotrimazole ointment for three months, and it seemed to clear up for a bit. But as soon as I finished the medication, it came back within a week. I'm an MBBS student at PIMS in Jalandhar, and I'm wondering if there are any injectable options available for this?

Accepted Answer

You have to continue the same treatment for a longer dulation like 45 -60 days,visit Dematologist for the same

Question 2

I'm wondering when exactly I should be using Momate F for vitiligo, and how long it should be left on before washing it off. Could you give me some guidance on the right timing and duration?

Accepted Answer

Momate F cream is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including vitiligo.

Application and Duration:

1. Apply a thin layer of Momate F cream to the affected area (vitiligo patches) once or twice a day, as directed by your doctor.1. After applying Momate F cream, wait for at least 2-3 hours before washing your face.
2. When washing your face, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, harsh soaps, or exfoliating scrubs, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils and reduce the effectiveness of the cream.

Question 3

I'm Shivam Gupta and I'm having a bit of a struggle with a recurring fungal infection. Last year around March or April, I first noticed red spots on my thigh that looked like a fungal infection. I talked to a doctor who suggested using Lobet GM Cream, and it went away after using it, but then the spots and itching came back. After two months, I consulted another doctor who recommended Candiforce 200 Tablets, FM 24 Tablets, and Serta Cream, and I used the cream for a year. Everything seemed fine, but now the fungal infection is back, and it's showing up on different parts of my body like my thighs, hands, stomach, and sometimes my head. I've also had carom seeds in my stomach and have taken medicine for that, but the fungal infection keeps coming back. What steps can I take to finally get rid of these infections?

Accepted Answer

Chronic fungal infections can be frustrating.

_Recap of Your Treatment_

1. _Lobet GM Cream_: Provided temporary relief, but the infection recurred.
2. _Candiforce 200 Tablet_: Antifungal medication that helped for a while, but the infection returned.
3. _Serta Cream_: Temporary relief, but the infection persisted.

_Next Steps_

1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to reassess your condition.
2. _Culture test_: A culture test can help identify the specific type of fungal infection.
3. _Broad-spectrum antifungal medication_: Your dermatologist might prescribe a stronger antifungal medication, such as fluconazole or itraconazole.
4. _Topical treatments_: In addition to oral medication, your dermatologist might recommend a topical cream or ointment to apply directly to the affected areas.
5. _Lifestyle modifications_: Keep the affected areas clean and dry, avoid sharing personal care items, and wear loose-fitting clothing to reduce moisture accumulation.

_Dietary Changes_

1. _Increase probiotics_: Consume probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, or take a probiotic supplement to support your immune system.
2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins.
3. _Balanced diet_: Eat a nutrient-rich diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
