I've been dealing with a fungal infection for a month, so I went to see a skin doctor who gave me Eberconazole tablets and cream, but also Cetrizine HCl tablets. Interestingly, I've also been having a runny nose and sneezing for the past 23 days, which I didn't mention to the doctor, but they somehow ended up addressing it. I'm curious if there's a connection between sneezing, a runny nose, and fungal infections. When I skip the Cetrizine, my sneezing and runny nose come back. I've tried searching online but can't find anything. Is there really a link between these symptoms and fungal infections?

I've been taking cetcipl tabs for my skin allergies, but I've missed it three times. They said it needs to be taken continuously for 30 days. What should I do now?

Since you have missed a few doses, try to continue taking the medication as prescribed for the remaining days. Take one tablet of cetcip-l (cetirizine) daily for the next 27 days to complete the 30-day course. Remember to take it at the same time each day for best results.

My wife has a scar on her left eyebrow that sometimes causes sharp, injection-like pain and a small wound underneath. A doctor suggested using Tbact Ointment, but we're wondering if there are other treatments to reduce the scar without plastic surgery. What options are available for scar reduction that don't involve surgery?

Scar-related pain near the eyebrow can be treated with ointments like Mederma or silicone gel sheets; plastic surgery isn't always required unless cosmetic correction is desired.

I've got these three rash spots near my genitals, like right on my thigh. They're ring-shaped, different sizes, and super itchy. I'm worried they might not just be a skin irritation. Could it be something like a fungal infection or something else I need to get checked out? What do you think?
