I've been dealing with scabies for about a week now, and I've been using benzyl benzoate 25 on my body. I've avoided my face and penis area, but now I've noticed some small red bumps on the head of my penis. Is it safe to apply the cream there, or should I try something else? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

I've been using medisalic cream for about a month, but now I have to switch to another cream because I noticed some marks on my face. I'm planning to go back to medisalic afterwards. Could stopping it for a while affect my skin?

I've had this ringworm fungal infection for about a month and a half now, and I've been using Dermi 5 cream regularly, but it doesn't seem to be working. Could you advise me on what I should do next? I'm getting a bit worried here.

If Dermi 5 cream has not been effective in treating your ringworm infection, you can try using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.
