I've been struggling with ringworm for a year nowit just keeps coming and going. Every time I start on my medicines, it seems to get better, but when I stop, it just comes back after a few days. I'm taking ityza 100 mg twice daily and there's another one for allergy I take once a day. Plus, I'm using terbinafine cream. I'm worried and wondering why this keeps happening and what else I might be able to do to get rid of it for good. Any advice would be really appreciated.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

Ive noticed this dark to brown patch right next to the meatus for around three months, and I can't help but worry. I have this maniac disorder that makes me check my penis a lot, like 8 to 10 times a day, because I'm paranoid about any unusual reactions. Doing this before once caused me to get balanitis. Now, Im freaking out that this brown patch might be related to those habits. Initially, I thought it might be a vein left behind, but now it doesn't seem like that. An online doctor mentioned it could be melanosis. Could this possibly be skin cancer, like melanoma, or am I overthinking this? Can checking and friction really turn that areas skin color to brown or tan?

I've been dealing with acne for the past six months and I'm thinking about trying tretiva. I'm wondering if tretiva works the same as accutane, which is known to be quite pricey in other countries. Does tretiva provide similar results?
