I've been dealing with some red rashes and a bit of a fungal infection near my private areas. I read about using Onabet B cream, but I'm not exactly sure how long I should be applying it. Should I do it for 2 weeks or maybe extend it to 3? Would applying it twice a day be enough? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right to get rid of this quickly. What do you think?

Onabet-B cream is commonly used for fungal infections. For red rashes near the private parts, you should apply Onabet-B cream twice a day for a duration of 2 weeks. If the symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, you can continue using it for an additional week for a total of 3 weeks.

I've been taking CANTHEX tablets for my skin pigmentation as the doctor said my weight gain might be causing this issue. But I stumbled across some info online suggesting that CANTHEX is also used for weight loss. I'm a bit confused and kind of worried does this mean that if I continue taking these tablets, there's a chance I might put on more weight?

No need to worry you can use it as advised by your doctor for pigmentation,there is no such record stating it's potential in weight gain.

I'm a bit confused about the Halovate F ointment I was prescribed. I'm currently breastfeeding, and I noticed the instructions say it's not recommended for that. I asked the dermatologist again, and she reassured me it's fine. But I just want to be completely sure. Can you shed some light on this?

Halovate F ointment's instructions advise against use during breastfeeding, but your dermatologist reassures it's safe. To be 100% sure, consult another specialist or a lactation expert, considering factors like the ointment's absorption rate and potential effects on milk.
