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.

There's a lump on my left buttock, and this is the ninth time it's happened in the same spot. I visited a gynecologist, and she mentioned it might be an abscess. Could you help me understand what might be causing this to keep coming back? Is there anything I should be worried about, or does this require a particular treatment or lifestyle change to prevent it in the future?

I have multiple lipomas in different parts of my body and I'm wondering if there's any way to treat them without surgery

There‚Äôs no proven non-surgical treatment to eliminate lipomas. Surgery is the only definitive removal, though small lipomas can be monitored if asymptomatic.
