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 told to use Anaboom AD lotion, but the pharmacist gave me Anaboom AD Shampoo instead and said to use it like a lotion. I'm not sure if that's okay. Can I use the shampoo in place of the lotion, or do I need to get the right product?

You have to get Aboom AD lotion,not the shampoo

I'm having some trouble with my skin color. I've noticed that the skin on my buttline is really dark, even more so than my inner thighs, which are dark too. Is there any way to deal with this? It's kinda bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do.

Buttline skin is more black than inner thighs This condition is known as acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by thick, dark, velvety skin in body folds and creases. To help improve this condition, you can try using a topical cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Corticosteroids. An example of a cream that combines these ingredients is Tri-Luma cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight, managing any underlying medical conditions like diabetes, and wearing loose-fitting clothing can also help improve the appearance of the skin.

I'm really embarrassed to talk about this, but I've noticed something called Trichomycosis Pubis that appeared around 4 months ago. It's really grossing me out and makes me feel unclean. I haven't told my parents and I really want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Any advice on what I should do?

topical antibiotic cream like clindamycin or mupirocin, which can effectively treat the infection. Antiseptic washes like chlorhexidine or benzoyl peroxide can also be used to clean the affected area. Proper Hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry. Regular washing with mild soap and water is important to avoid excessive sweating or moisture, as bacteria thrive in these environments. Avoid using harsh soaps or scrubbing, as it may irritate the skin.
