I've been having this recurring issue with ringworm or maybe it's jock itch on my inner thighs. I first tried using clobetasol cream, then switched to dexoderm to avoid clobetasol, but I realized that dexoderm has clobetasol propionate too. It keeps giving me relief but it never really goes away completely. I recently started using ebernet cream and taking terbinafine 250 mg tablets. It's only been a week, but I think the redness is coming back and it's even spread to my glans. I dont have any itching right now, but Im worried its returning. Plus, the side effects from the tablets are a lot and I'm starting to feel some of them. Any advice on what I should do?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, as you may need to adjust your treatment plan, and in the meantime, continue using the ebernet cream and terbinafine tablets as directed, while monitoring side effects and fungal infection symptoms.

I've been noticing that my skin is super dry, and I've been using a lot of moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. The dryness is causing wrinkles to form, and it's really worrying me. I wash my hands regularly with soap and keep applying moisturizer, but both my hands and legs are still wrinkled. Do you have any advice on what I can do to improve my skin's condition?

Dry skin can lead to wrinkles, especially if it's not properly moisturized. Here are some suggestions to help you combat dry skin and reduce wrinkles: Moisturizing Routine 1. Use a gentle soap: Switch to a mild, fragrance-free soap that's formulated for dry skin. 2. Exfoliate wisely: Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 3. Apply moisturizer immediately: After washing your hands and legs, apply moisturizer within 3 minutes to lock in moisture. 4. Use a rich moisturizer: Switch to a rich, non-greasy moisturizer that's formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, and glycerin. Additional Tips 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. 2. Avoid hot water: Use warm water instead of hot water, which can strip your skin of its natural oils. 3. Wear gloves: Wear gloves when washing dishes, gardening, or engaging in other activities that can dry out your hands. 4. Use a humidifier: Dry air can dry out your skin, so using a humidifier can help maintain a healthy moisture level.
