I've been dealing with an issue on my face and underarms for about a year now. I've tried using luliconazole and ketoconazole ointments, and even took oral tablets like onecan and itraconazole, but nothing seems to fully solve the problem. The ketoconazole ointment seems to control it for a bit, but then it just comes back. Can you please help me figure out what's going on?

I've been dealing with a skin problem on my neck and shoulder, and I'm 23 years old. The doctor prescribed Zocon 200, but I forgot to ask how much time I should wait between doses. Can you guide me on the dosage?

Zocon 200, containing fluconazole, is typically taken once a day; the usual dosage interval is every 24 hours, but consult your doctor or the prescription label for specific guidance, as the exact timing may vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan.

Can I use Aldry lotion on my face to help with excessive sweating? I've been really struggling with it, and I'm not sure if it's safe or will cause any irritation. What do you think?

no unless advised dont apply it anywhere else bcause of the risk of dryness of the skin,use it as prescribed by your doctor.
