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 been dealing with a skin issue for about 3 months now. I was using a betamethasone cream on my face, but then I noticed it started turning my face redder and redder. My doctor mentioned I was using a really strong steroid cream on my face, and now I'm not sure how to fix this. My cheeks are constantly red, though there's no itching or irritation. When I go outside, it gets even redder. I'm using Desowen lotion and Emodel lotion for cleansing, but I'm really scared about my skin. It's affecting my confidence, and sometimes I don't even want to leave the house. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing redness on your face due to the prolonged use of a high-potency steroid cream. To help improve the redness and restore your skin's health, I recommend the following: Discontinue the use of betamethasone cream immediately, as advised by your doctor. Continue using Desowen lotion as prescribed. This contains desonide, a mild corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and redness. For cleansing, continue using Emodel lotion. Make sure to use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for sensitive skin. Consider using a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to help repair your skin barrier and improve hydration. Avoid direct sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outside to prevent further damage from UV rays.

I have a few pits on my nose around 3cm in size along with many smaller ones that seem to produce oil and a white creamy substance. Can this be treated without plastic surgery or would I need it? I'd also like to improve the shape of my nose what options do I have for that?
The bumps and pits on your nose, along with the oily and white substance, likely indicate sebaceous hyperplasia and sebaceous filaments. These are benign skin conditions that can be managed with skincare routines and treatments. For nose reshaping, rhinoplasty (either surgical or non-surgical) is an option.

I've been dealing with this rash on my butt for about 2-3 months and I'm not sure what's causing it or how to get rid of it. I've been using a medication called Itrasis200, but I'm wondering if there's something else that might help or if I should try a different approach. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or other treatments I could consider?
For the rash on your butt, you can try using a topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) 10mg once daily to help with itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.
