I've been dealing with this ring guard issue on the side of my vagina since October. It's super itchy, and even though I went to a skin doctor and got some medicine, it hasn't cleared up. I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what I should do next or how I can get rid of it. Any suggestions on treatment options that might work better?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the itching and prevent further irritation.

View allI'm really embarrassed to talk about this, but I've noticed something called Trichomycosis Pubis that appeared around 4 months ago. It's really grossing me out and makes me feel unclean. I haven't told my parents and I really want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Any advice on what I should do?
topical antibiotic cream like clindamycin or mupirocin, which can effectively treat the infection. Antiseptic washes like chlorhexidine or benzoyl peroxide can also be used to clean the affected area. Proper Hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry. Regular washing with mild soap and water is important to avoid excessive sweating or moisture, as bacteria thrive in these environments. Avoid using harsh soaps or scrubbing, as it may irritate the skin.

I'm a bit confused about when to apply Epiduo and Zyclin for my back. Should I use them both during the day, or is it better to apply one in the morning and the other at night? I'd appreciate some guidance on getting the most effective results.
Both Epiduo and Zyclin are typically applied in the evening before bedtime. For Epiduo, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening. For Zyclin, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening as well. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist for the best results.

I've been on Sotret 20 mg for a month now, and I've just been diagnosed with thyroid issues. Do you think it's okay if I take Sotret at night and Thyronorm in the morning? I'm a bit worried about how these medications might interact.
There is no interaction between those two drugs,you continue them as your doctor advised.
