I've been dealing with an infection for quite some time now and I've tried several creams like Dermikem OC and Clocip but nothing seems to be working. Could you please suggest the right treatment for this? I'm really worried and could use some guidance.

It seems like you have a fungal infection. I would recommend using a combination of Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) and Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin). Apply Terbinafine cream twice a day and Clotrimazole cream once a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively.

I'm really worried because my nails have this blackish fungus on them and they're all uneven. I've been looking for ways to clear it up and get them back to looking normal and whitish. I heard about this Grisovin FP 250 mg tablet. Do you think that's a good option for dealing with this? Any ideas on how to tackle this problem?

I've been dealing with jock itch and it's been really bothersome. Can Nycil powder help with this itching? If it's okay to use, how much should I apply? Also, are there any other remedies that might work?

Nycil powder can help in relieving jock itch symptoms. You can apply it to the affected area. However, for better results, you can also use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream. Apply the cream to the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothes, and avoiding sharing personal items can also help in managing jock itch.

I'm 26 years old and I've been dealing with Alopecia Areata. My dad's bald and I'm starting to see the bald areas emerging too, especially on the crown of my head. My hair seems to be falling out in a pattern more and more these days. Is there anything that could help me avoid going completely bald, at least for the next five years?

I recommend you start using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down the progression of balding and maintain your hair for at least 5 years.
