I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my inner thighs for the past four months. I've tried using candid cream, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Is there something else I should try, or do I need to see a doctor in person about this? I'm kind of worried it might get worse.

Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment, as persistent fungal infections may require oral antifungals, topical creams like clotrimazole or terbinafine, or other treatments, and make sure to keep the affected area clean, dry, and well-ventilated.

I've been using Pandram Plus cream for about 7 to 8 years, and now I've noticed my skin has turned white. I'm really concerned about whether this could be harmful to my skin. What product can I use to keep my skin bright after I stop using Pandram Plus? Can you suggest something?
