I've been dealing with a toenail fungus infection and have been on canditral 100 mg as a pulse treatmentdoing 7 days a month for the past 3 monthsand using clotrimazole USP lotion. But honestly, I haven't seen any improvement after a month of this regimen. Should I consider seeing a specialist or maybe switch up the treatment plan? Its getting a bit frustrating.

View allI've had this lump next to my nipple for what feels like forever, and I'm not really sure how long it's been there. It's kinda weird because the lump seems to get taller when my nipple gets hard, and when it's soft, the lump flattens out. It's not painful, doesn't move around, and it's pretty soft. I'm a bit worried. Why is this happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?

I've been using Skinlite cream for about a month, and I recently heard it might not be good for the skin. I'm worried about what could happen if I stop using it. What side effects might I run into if I discontinue it?

I've been getting these red dots on the head of my penis after having sex or masturbating and it's starting to hurt when I try to pull back the foreskin, especially around the frenulum. The weird thing is, if I don't do anything for about 45 days, the dots go away. I went to a dermatologist who said it might be a fungal issue and gave me an antifungal cream, but it's been a month and nothing's changed. I've tested negative for HIV. Any idea what this could be and how I might treat it?
Since the anti-fungal cream prescribed by the dermatologist did not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a different approach. I recommend trying a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream to address any possible bacterial or inflammatory component of the condition. You can apply a combination of Mupirocin ointment (2%) and Hydrocortisone cream (1%) twice daily on the affected area for 7-10 days. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, including gently washing the penis with warm water and mild soap, and ensuring proper drying of the area after bathing, can help prevent recurrence
