I've been dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my skin for about 6 months now. I've started using Fourderm, and while it seemed to work initially, the infection comes back after just a couple of days. I'm frustrated and unsure of what to do next. Is there something I'm missing or another treatment I should try?

Given the recurring nature of your fungal infection, consider consulting a dermatologist to reassess the treatment plan; meanwhile, continue using Fourderm cream as directed, and complement it with additional measures: keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, avoid sharing personal items, and apply an antifungal powder or spray to prevent moisture accumulation, which can help reduce the frequency of recurrence.

I'm really worried about the dark circles under my eyes; they've been there for years. I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of them. Do you know of any effective treatments? Is laser treatment a good option, or should I consider something else? I feel so frustrated with this issue and really need some advice. Can you help me out with this?

Dark circles is something that may be familial hereditary in nature and thus leading this to be a less treatable issue. However, in a lot of cases there are acquired causes - like repeated rubbing allergic condition of the eye stress anxiety depression lack of sleep etc . Its important that these issues are first addressed. You could further consider creams - but they have to be used for many months to show some visible results. Also tear trough treatment with fillers may be helpful in some cases. PRP therapy too does wonder in treating this condition.
