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?

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 noticing some skin rashes and these black spots that might be a tan on my hands. What's strange is that this area is a completely different tone compared to the rest of my body. Should I be worried about this?

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection that's been bothering me for about 4 years now and I'm also overweight. I've heard about a medication called Itaspor that might help with antifungal infections. Do you think it could be effective for my situation?

Itaspor (Itraconazole) is a well-established antifungal medication, effective against various fungal infections, including: 1. Dermatophyte infections (e.g., ringworm, athlete's foot) 2. Candidiasis (e.g., thrush, vaginal yeast infections) 3. Aspergillosis However, considering your 4-year history of fungal infections and being overweight, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the best course of treatment. Factors to Consider 1. Type and severity of infection: Your doctor will assess the type of fungal infection and its severity to determine the most effective treatment. 2. Underlying health conditions: Being overweight can increase the risk of developing certain health conditions, such as diabetes, which can affect the immune system and fungal infection treatment. 3. Potential interactions with other medications: Your doctor will review your medication list to ensure that Itaspor doesn't interact with other medications you're taking. 4. Liver function: Itraconazole can affect liver function, so your doctor may monitor your liver enzymes during treatment.
