I've been having a really hard time sleeping at night because of this super itchy problem. It's getting worse when I scratch, and now it seems to be spreading. Could you recommend a good medicine that might help cure it? I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance.

I can recommend you to take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25mg before bedtime to help with your itchy problem and improve your sleep. Additionally, you can apply hydrocortisone cream on the itchy areas to reduce the itching and prevent further spreading.

I'm dealing with a fungus issue near my vaginal area that's been going on for about three months now. I've been taking medication as prescribed by my doctor, but the problem starts all over again and spreads if I stop taking them. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Any advice?
Indicates a recurring fungal infection. To treat this effectively, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) may be prescribed by your doctor for systemic treatment. It is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been dealing with a persistent fungal infection for the past three months and nothing seems to work. I've tried loads of medicines, Patanjali products, Candid dusting powder, and even coconut oil, plus all sorts of advice from different people. Sometimes it clears up a bit, but then the itching and growth come back. I'm really at my wit's end with this. I went to see a skin specialist too, but the meds haven't helped at all in the last two months. Can you offer some advice or alternatives I can try? Its getting really frustrating.
Try a combination therapy of oral antifungal medication along with topical antifungal cream. You can start by taking Tab Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 4-6 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily on the affected area. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If there is no improvement or if the infection worsens, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
