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.

View allI'm thinking about starting minoxidil for my male pattern baldness, but I'm worried about what happens if I stop using it. Will all the new hair I grow just fall out, and will my original hair shed faster than usual? I really want to understand this before I decide. Can you help clarify this for me?

I'm dealing with some jock itch and picked up Lobate GM cream to help with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to use or should I stick with something like itch guard instead?
Lobate GM cream contains Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. It is not typically recommended for jock itch as it contains a steroid which may worsen fungal infections. Itch guard cream, on the other hand, contains Clotrimazole which is effective against fungal infections like jock itch. I recommend using Itch guard cream for jock itch. Apply it twice daily for 2-4 weeks for best results.

I'm really curious about how I can tell if my lipoma has completely stopped forming after I've been on homeopathic treatment. Are there specific signs I should look for, or is it something that only a doctor can confirm? I'm kinda worried because I want to make sure the treatment has actually worked and that no new growth is happening. Can you give me some guidance on what to expect or how I might notice if it's all settled down?
To confirm that your lipoma has stopped growing or forming new ones after homeopathic treatment, monitor the following: 1. Size: Measure and track the lipoma's size regularly. 2. Growth rate: Observe if the growth rate has slowed or halted. 3. New lesions: Watch for any new lipoma formations. 4. Consistency: Check if the lipoma's texture or consistency has changed. 5. Symptoms: Note any changes in symptoms like pain, tenderness, or inflammation.
