I've been dealing with this itching in my groin that seems like it could be ringworm. I've tried using Serta cream, but it keeps coming back after a while. Can you suggest any oral treatments or creams that might help?

I've been dealing with scalp psoriasis and psoriasis on other parts of my body, and I've tried all sorts of medications, but it seems like they only provide temporary relief. Is there anything out there that might work as a permanent treatment? I'd love some advice on this as it's really been bothering me.

For scalp psoriasis and psoriasis, there is no permanent cure, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms effectively. Topical treatments such as clobetasol propionate (0.05%) solution can be applied directly to the scalp to reduce inflammation and itching. In addition, systemic medications like methotrexate or biologics such as adalimumab can be prescribed by a dermatologist to help control psoriasis flare-ups. It is important to follow up regularly with your healthcare provider to adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm really worried about my husband. His private area keeps itching all the time and when he scratches, it gets red and painful. The doctor gave him a soap and cream, and when he uses the cream, it doesn't itch. But as soon as he stops using it, the itching comes back. Were really looking for a permanent solution. What should we do?

For any medicine to show effect it should be used properly as per the doctor's instructions.So have patience and use it to its full extent.Even then if you didn't see any change then ask your doctor for oral medication
