I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection on my back for about 6 months now, and I'm in the UAE. I'm using TRAVOCORT cream as the doctor recommended, and it seems to work for a few days, but then the itching and irritation come back. I've noticed the symptoms seem to get worse when I eat non-veg foods like chicken, fish, or mutton, which is really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief? It's becoming really uncomfortable.

To address this issue, I recommend trying an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) in tablet form, along with a topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) to apply on the affected area. Additionally, it is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid consuming foods that seem to trigger your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious if there are any side effects of using Glyaha Koj lotion. A dermatologist recommended it to me for removing a tan and it's been really effective for me, so I keep using it when I get tanned. Could there be any negative effects from using this lotion?
Glyaha Koj lotion, containing kojic acid, is generally considered safe for skin brightening and tan removal, but long-term or excessive use may lead to side effects like skin irritation, redness, itching, or dryness, and rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been reported, so continue using it with caution and discontinue if you experience any adverse reactions.

I've got this small pimple near my anus and it really hurts when I touch it. Could you help me figure out what I can do about it?
I recommend using an over-the-counter cream containing 2.5% hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain. If the pimple does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation
