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 had laser surgery for wart removal but I'm still seeing bumps with black spots even after finishing my 5-day course of meds the doctor prescribed. When will this fully heal? The doctor scheduled a follow-up but should I keep taking the meds? I really want these warts gone completely without any marks are there better treatments or meds I should try?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Candid cream for local application is advised, once a day,at bed time for 2 weeks is advised.
