I've been noticing some white streaks on the sides of my face, right on the cheekbones. They're not really spots or patches, but they definitely look fairer compared to the rest of my skin. Any idea what might be causing this?

The white streaks on your cheekbones could be due to several reasons, including hypopigmentation, vitiligo, pityriasis alba, or idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis; so consult dermatologist

View allI've been dealing with an itchy scrotum and these light white plaques on it for almost a year now. I just started using Terbinafine cream a couple of days ago. Any idea what I should do from here? I'm really curious if this treatment is enough or if there's something else I should consider.

I'm dealing with this really annoying rash that started back in January after intercourse. It was just a rash at first but then turned into ringworm, and I've been on and off with medication. Switched to homeopathy and it seemed to help, but then I had to move to Jaipur for work and ever since, the itching has only gotten worse. What should I do?
I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, taking an oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once a day can also help. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.

So I've been dealing with this fungal infection on my mouth, forehead, belly, and thighs, and it's just so frustrating. Ive tried all sorts of creams like terbinafine, pendrum, and lulifine, but it just keeps coming back. I'm really worried about this and not sure what to do next. Any advice on how I can get rid of it for good?
Fungal infections can be stubborn and may require a different approach for effective treatment. I recommend trying a combination of oral antifungal medication along with topical creams for better results. You can take tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks along with applying clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
