I've been dealing with this itching on my inner thighs and buttocks for the last three months, and I've noticed the same rash on my left-hand wrist and both my right hand and leg joint. I've tried a bunch of antifungal creams and meds like flucan 150mg, cefadroxil 500mg, and Levosiz, and then switched to terbinafine tablets and cream. Been on these for three months now, but there's been no improvement. In fact, the redness got worse over the last four days. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this?

I've developed a skin rash that began on my inner thighs and now has spread to my shoulders, ankles, buttocks, and the side of my stomach. It started out red and has turned black, with little itchy bumps. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal skin infection, such as tinea corporis (ringworm). I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.

I'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner. I've heard that it's important for these products to be paraben and SLS free, and Im wondering if that's really necessary or if sticking to a reputable brand would be just as effective. What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?
Sebamed shampoo is advised to the patient.
