I've been dealing with a fungal infection for the past two years and have been using sulfur 30 and tellurium 30, along with bc20 tablets for about a month now. Things seemed to be improving, but the itching has started up again recently. Could you offer some guidance on what might be causing this or suggest a way to get the itching under control?

I've been dealing with Jock itch for a few years now, and it gets really bad during certain seasons. I've been using FourDerm regularly to try and control the itching, but the infection just won't go away. Recently, I've started going for regular morning walks, and as a result, I'm losing some weight. Now the skin around my thighs has become really sensitive and soft, and it's making me feel really uncomfortable, especially when I walk. What should I do about this? Any advice on how to manage this better?

It sounds like you are experiencing a persistent case of jock itch that is causing discomfort, especially in the thigh area. FourDerm may not be effective enough to treat the infection. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra, applying it twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm really curious about Mintop 5 ml for hair growth. I've heard some folks mention that it might cause more hair fall initially, and that kinda worries me. Is it true that I might notice more hair falling out when I first start using it? I'd love to know your thoughts on this because I'm hesitant to try it if that's the case. Can you help clear this up for me?

Yes, it is the side-effects of the medication.Continue all the medications a advised by the dermatologist..
