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.

View allI recently saw a doctor for what might be a sebaceous cyst and got some meds for a few days. They said to check back if it improves, otherwise we might need a scan. But my wedding is on April 24th and I'm really worried is there any faster option like needle surgery or something to fix this quickly?
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

Can I use Dermadew cream for skin brightening, or should I try Angie Thailand soap instead? I'm really curious about what would work better. Could you please advise me?
For skin brightening, Dermadew cream is a safer option as it's a topical cream specifically formulated for skin brightening and hyperpigmentation, whereas Angie Thailand soap may contain harsh ingredients like hydroquinone or mercury, which can have adverse effects; however, always do a patch test and consult a dermatologist before using any new skincare product.

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable issue with my right breast. The skin on my areola is peeling and it's constantly sticking to my bra. When I take my bra off, the skin comes off too and it's quite painful. I had eczema a few years back with similar symptoms but that cleared up with aloe vera after about two months. This time it seems worse and isn't as itchy, just sometimes. It's sore and a bit reddish. I'm worried and wondering if it's possible to be dealing with something serious like cancer at my age. It's really freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.
