Question

I've been dealing with tinea cruris and my doctor prescribed me to take gris ODT for a couple of weeks and to use XYZal 10 mg as needed, along with Onabet cream without steroids. I followed this for two weeks and the infection seems almost gone, but the doctor advised me to continue the gris ODT for another week and the cream for two more weeks. Occasionally, I still get a light itching sensation around my area. Should I keep taking gris ODT for even longer? If so, how many more weeks should I continue? Also, can you suggest a good soap to use for the genital area?

You can use a gentle and mild soap for the genital area, such as Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar or Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar. Make sure to avoid harsh soaps or those with strong fragrances to prevent irritation. Yes, you should continue taking Gris ODT as advised by your doctor. I recommend continuing Gris ODT for another week to ensure the infection is completely gone

Question

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that my doctor diagnosed about a month ago. I've been on medication, taking Candiforce 200 twice daily, and using O2 derm cream. But now I'm noticing some stretch marks and they're spreading. Is there any nonsteroidal cream you could recommend for this? Also, a friend mentioned using Alograce bathing bar from Mankind. Is that safe to use for my skin condition? Would love your take on this!

Question

I went to a water park about a week ago, and ever since, I've noticed my skin has gotten darker. I have to maintain lighter skin for my job. All my hands, legs, and face got a bit tanned. Will this naturally resolve over time, or is there something I should do to help my skin return to its usual shade?

Question

I'm curious about using Tretin 0.025 cream. Will it help to open up my pores and reduce acne and blemishes? I'm really hoping it can improve my skin. Can you tell me more about how it works?
