I've been dealing with a stubborn fungus infection on my thighs. I've tried several ointments like Quadridrum and Ringguard, but they didn't help much. Fourderm seemed to work for a bit, but then the infection came back. Recently, someone suggested Derobin, but it just gave me allergies and made my skin turn red and painful. I'm really worried about what's going on. Do you have any advice?

It seems like you have been experiencing a recurrent fungal infection on your thighs. Since Fourderm worked well for you initially but the infection recurred, you may need a stronger antifungal medication. I recommend trying a combination antifungal and steroid cream like Lotriderm. Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream on the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about these pearly penile papules I've got they're white spots on the glans of my penis. I've never been sexually active and I'm still a virgin, so I'm not sure where they came from. What can I do to get rid of them, aside from using castor oil and tea tree oil?
use castro oil

Can you tell me if it's okay to use candid b cream for a fungal infection on my face? I've got these really annoying red and dry patches on my cheeks that look just like dandruff, and I'm a bit worried about them. Is this cream safe to apply there, or should I be trying something else?
Candid B cream can be used for fungal infections on the face. It contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which are effective in treating fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of Candid B cream on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
