I've been dealing with this fungal infection for over a year now, and I regularly use CIPLA FOREDERM CREAM which makes it feel normal. But if I stop using the cream for just 2-3 days, the itching becomes so intense that I can't walk or wear pants comfortably. Can you advise me on how to cure this, and if there's a permanent treatment available? I'm really struggling with this and would appreciate some guidance.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been using Virovir 500 for treating my Herpes and it's helped a lot with the infection, but I still have this annoying itching above my left ear and behind my ears. Someone mentioned Sofinox might be a good solution, but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe to use it around the hair without worrying about any side effects, like hair fall? Would appreciate some guidance.
Sofinox cream contains Miconazole which is an antifungal medication. It is safe to apply around the hairs above the ear for itching. Make sure to apply a thin layer and gently massage it into the skin. There should be no significant side effects when used as directed. It is unlikely to cause hair fall later on. Apply it twice a day for 1-2 weeks for best results.

I'm using minoxidil as my doctor prescribed, and I'm thinking about dyeing my hair. Do you think applying hair dye will cause any issues while I'm on minoxidil?
When using minoxidil, it's essential to exercise caution when applying hair dye: _Wait period_: Avoid applying hair dye for at least 24 hours after using minoxidil. _Patch test_: Perform a patch test with the hair dye to ensure you're not allergic to it. _Choose gentle dyes_: Opt for ammonia-free or semi-permanent hair dyes, which are less harsh. _Avoid overlapping_: Don't apply minoxidil and hair dye to the same area simultaneously.
