I've been dealing with ringworm on the inner part of my thigh for about 9 months now. It seems to heal when I use medicine, but then it just comes back over and over. It even flares up after I itch it. I've tried using IT Mac 200, Terbest, and a bunch of other antifungal creams, but it keeps returning. I'm really frustrated and wondering if this is something that's going to stick around forever, or if there's anything else I can do to finally get rid of it. Any advice?

View allWhat are some effective non-surgical ways to reduce dark circles under my eyes? I've heard about creams but not sure which ones actually work any recommendations that don't involve fillers or surgery?
Try creams with caffeine or retinol; sunscreen and sleep help—avoid fillers unless absolutely needed.

I'm really struggling with acne on my face. It seems to clear up for a bit when I use ointment, but the moment I stop, it just comes back. What could be causing this and how can I manage it better?
It sounds like you may be dealing with acne that is recurring when you stop using the ointment. Paknet-C is a combination medication that contains Clindamycin and Nicotinamide, which are commonly used to treat acne. I would recommend using a gentle cleanser to wash your face twice a day, and then applying a thin layer of a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel at night. Additionally, you can continue using Paknet-C as spot treatment for active acne lesions. If your acne persists, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with jock itch for about two weeks now and I've been trying a bunch of things like creams and even anti-dandruff shampoo. I read somewhere that castor oil could help, so I started applying it before bed and washing it off in the morning. But one time, I used it after my morning bath and forgot to reapply it at night. By the next day, I noticed the oil had dried, there was some black dead skin that came off easily, and the rash seemed a bit smaller. Does this mean that the castor oil is just working really slowly, or should I be trying something else?
Try using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area to help clear up the infection faster. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.
