I've been dealing with ringworm and it's really stubborn. Plus, there's this annoying dinaay and khujli that's just driving me up the wall! Can you recommend the best medicine or ointment to help clear this up? I'm really hoping to find something effective because it's becoming a real hassle.

Could you help me out with something? I'm a 72-year-old male dealing with ringworm on my abdomen and back. It's really itchy. I've got diabetes and I'm taking Metolar, Ecosprin, and Metformin. Is it safe for me to try taking Can 150 mg for three days for this issue? Would appreciate your advice.

I've been seeing these black lines on my fingernail for the past few weeks and it seems like they're getting thicker and wider. I'm not sure if this is something to be worried about with my health or if it's just nothing. Should I be concerned?

I'm having a really uncomfortable skin reaction after eating mangoes. My whole body is covered in red marks, and it gets worse if I miss a dose of the medications the doctors gave me: ommacortil, patadin, levosiz, and ranitidine. Is there anything specific I should avoid eating in this situation? And is it possible to find a permanent solution to stop this?
