I've been dealing with ringworm around my groin for the past couple of months. I've tried a bunch of creams with no luck, but then a friend recommended Sapatlotion. It finally worked, but now its left this black scar in the area that was infected. Is there any way to get rid of this scar, and how long might that take? Can you recommend any effective scar removal creams?

I've been using Panderm cream on my face for like 34 years, and at first, I was really happy because it made my face lighter. But now I'm hearing it's got steroids in it.

I'm really worried about my daughter. She's been dealing with angular cheilitis for the past 15 days. We went to the doctor and he recommended using this cream called Activities, but it hasn't helped at all. In fact, she's now got some kind of allergic reaction, with small red spots near her lower lips and face. It's also itchy and painful. I read online that this cream shouldn't be swallowed, and I'm wondering if that's what's causing the issue since she might have accidentally ingested some. I'm not sure what to do next. Can you help us figure out what's going on and what steps we should take?

calasoft lotion is advised to the patient.if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.

I'm really worried because I've been getting these frequent rashes, and even though my blood test came back normal, my doctor said it might be a hidden allergy or stress-related. But I'm scared it could be something like HIV. How can I tell if these rashes are just from stress or if they're possibly HIV-related? They're itchy and red, and they started in December when I was super stressed about my exams. Can you help me figure this out?

Consider alternatives to KayamNityam Churna to manage bowel movements. Cremalax, a laxative, can provide temporary relief, but long-term use may lead to dependence. For a 70-year-old, it's recommended to limit Cremalax use to 1-2 weeks. Consult your doctor about safer, long-term options, such as: Psyllium husk (Isabgol) Probiotics Dietary fiber supplements Also, discuss acidity and sleep issues with your doctor to address underlying causes.
