I've been struggling with ringworm under my breast and near the vaginal and seat area for a while now. Ive tried a bunch of creams, but nothing seems to work. Its been about six months, and now my baby has it too, and so does my husband. Its really itchy and there are these red circles. What else can I do to get rid of this? Can you suggest anything that might help cure it for good?

Oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole (Diflucan) may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent further spread of the infection.

So, about two months ago, I had a scab on my nose, and after it peeled off, the skin underneath turned pink. It's been two months now, and the pink skin hasn't changed back to its natural color. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything I can do, or is it just a matter of time before the skin tone evens out?

Usually it takes time to regain normal skin, especially over sensitive areas like nose ,give time and moisturize it often, if the size is increasing visit Dermatologist for evaluation.

I'm currently taking Lulifin 1, Allegra 180, and Sebifin Syntran 200 mg, but my condition seems to be getting worse. Could you please advise on what I should do next?

It seems like you may be dealing with a fungal infection that is spreading despite your current medications. I would recommend adding an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) to your treatment regimen. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you may consider taking an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (Diflucan) 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear up the infection from within. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices and keep the affected area clean and dry.
