I've been dealing with a persistent Tinea infection on different parts of my body like the inner thighs, groin, belt area, and armpits for nearly 45 months now. I tried a treatment course for a month, taking Tab Prugo 10 once daily, Cap Canditral 100 once a day, and using Ointment Propyzole at night and Ointment Sebifin during the day. I repeated this twice with an increased dosage the second time. Each time I take the medicine, the infection seems to go away for a bit but then comes back once I've finished the course. Can you suggest a more effective treatment to finally get rid of this Tinea for good?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried because I've developed a bacterial infection on my nails, and I think it might be due to using detergent powder. It's even spreading to my fingers. What should I do to treat this, and should I stop using that soap? Is there something specific I need to apply or any particular habits I should change to prevent it from getting worse?

Bacterial infection on nails and fingers due to detergent powder exposure can be treated with an antibiotic ointment containing Neomycin and Bacitracin. Apply the ointment to the affected nails and fingers twice daily for 1-2 weeks. In severe cases, oral antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid further exposure to the detergent powder to prevent recurrence.
