I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?

Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.

View allI'm using Proanagen for my hair, and I'm a bit confused about when to apply the solution. Should it go on after washing my hair, or is it okay before? I usually wash my hair every three days. And do I need to wash my hair straight after using the solution? My doctor suggested taking Proanagen tablets daily too, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. What's the best way to use both the solution and the tablets?
Proanagen solution for hair should be applied on dry scalp before hairwash. It is not compulsory to wash your hair immediately after applying the solution. You can apply the solution at any time, but it is recommended to leave it on for at least a few hours before washing your hair. Since you wash your hair once every 3 days, you can apply the solution on the days you do not wash your hair. As for the Proanagen tablet, you should take it daily as prescribed by your doctor.

I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection that's been going on for about 3 months. I've seen various doctors and tried all kinds of meds, but after a few days or weeks, it just comes back to the same situation. I'm dealing with these ring-like red formations on my skin that are super itchy, and they leave red patches. Any idea what might be causing this or how to actually get rid of it? It's really frustrating!
Chronic Fungal infection needs long-term treatment, personal hygiene measures are most important to cure this disease, practice special care towards affected area.
