I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my hips for the past two years, and it's getting unbearable. It hurts a lot and the itching is intense, sometimes even causing bleeding when I itch. I've been treating it for two years, but the moment I stop the medication, it comes back. I can't even get a good night's sleep because of it. Can you please help me figure out what to do?

I'm really struggling with jock itch that started on my groin and buttock area about 4 months ago. Now it's spreading like athlete's foot, and it's getting really frustrating. I've tried several treatments Quadriderm for the first couple of weeks and then Itch Guard for a month, but neither worked. I even consulted a doctor on Practo who suggested Onabet 2 cream and Terbinafine 250mg tablets, but there's been no improvement after a month. Is there any strong cream or treatment you would recommend for Tinea Cruris? I'm looking for something effective because nothing seems to be helping.

I've had multiple small lipomas on both hands for the past 23 years, with some on my stomach and chest too. About 12 of them hurt when pressed hard. New ones keep appearing, and some older ones are getting bigger. Every doctor I've seen says surgery is the only option, but there are so many and I'm worried about scarring. Is there a safe treatment that can stop new lipomas from forming?

excision is advised to the patient,also surgery opinion at apollo hospital for further tt.

Am taking Acutret 20mg for my pimples and I've got PCOD and IBS too. I'm a bit worried about whether it's okay to be on this medication with my other conditions. Could it cause any issues?

Isotretinoin, the active ingredient in Acutret, can potentially worsen IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. It may also affect hormone levels, which can be concerning for PCOD. For your specific case, it is best to consult with your doctor to discuss the potential risks and benefits of continuing Acutret 20mg. They may suggest alternative treatments or adjust the dosage to minimize any negative effects on your PCOD and IBS.
