I've been dealing with jock itch for about four months now. I've tried different creams and powders, but nothing seems to work, and it just keeps getting worse. The rash is spreading, and its getting super itchy. I've used clotrimazole and terbinafine but no luck. What should I do? It's really getting uncomfortable.

Seems like the jock itch is not responding to the antifungal treatments you have tried. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary to treat the infection effectively. I recommend taking oral fluconazole along with continuing the topical antifungal creams. Please consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've noticed that I have puffy nipples. They look normal when it's cold, but when it's warm, they get really puffy again. It makes me feel super self-conscious about taking my shirt off. I'm pretty sure it's not gynecomastia because there aren't any lumps under the nipples. Is there anything I can do that might help with this?

I was diagnosed with tuberculosis last month, and since then, I've noticed that my skin color has turned darker. I used to have fair skin before. I'm really worried if this change will last or if my original complexion will return after I recover. Can you please let me know what to expect?

I've been dealing with really itchy rashes and red patches for the last three days and its getting pretty frustrating. I'm using Zovirax tablets and Ocuvir cream, but I'm not sure if they're really helping. Should I be doing anything else, or could this be something more serious?

Stop taking the medication.U can use calasoft lotion for local application for 7 days and also tab allegra 120 mg bedtime orally for 5 days is advised to the patient.
