I've been struggling with a skin allergy on my lower back for about three years now, and nothing seems to work. I've tried so many medicines, but I just can't seem to find relief. What should I do? How can I finally solve this problem?

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

View allI'm experiencing some really uncomfortable skin issues. I've got these rashes that are making my skin itch like crazy, and it's become super red and even has black spots appearing. It's getting to the point where my skin feels like it's burning, and the irritation is quite unbearable. I'm really worried about what's going on. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?
You may be experiencing an allergic reaction on your skin. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to reduce itching and redness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing cream like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I was diagnosed with Jaundice back in July and it took about a month for me to recover. My doctor mentioned I could eat oily foods once I was better. But even months before the Jaundice, I started losing a lot of hair, and now it's really concerning. My hair used to be thick, but now I've lost about two-thirds of it and what's left is dry and brittle. After the illness, my hemoglobin is 10.8, and the doctor said it'd return to normal eventually, so no meds were suggested. I've moved back to Bangalore and can't ask my original doctor about this hair fall issue. Could Jaundice be causing me to lose my hair? How can I get my hair back to its normal state? Is it safe to take hair fall tablets now, especially with my body still recovering? I'm also noticing that my menstrual days have become painful since my illness, though the cycle's regular. Could all these changes be connected?
Jaundice itself doesn't directly cause balding, but the underlying conditions that led to jaundice, such as liver disease or hemolytic anemia, can contribute to hair loss. Given your history of jaundice and current hair loss, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, to rule out any underlying liver or blood-related conditions. Regarding hair loss treatment, your doctor may recommend: 1. Iron supplements: Given your low hemoglobin (10.8), iron supplements might help. 2. Vitamin B12 injections: Jaundice can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to hair loss.

Does Eberfine cream have steroids in it, and is it actually good for treating ringworm?
Eberfine cream contains Eberconazole (1% ww) and Mometasone (0.1% ww), which means it does contain a steroid, specifically Mometasone, a moderate-strength topical corticosteroid. As for its effectiveness in treating ringworm, the combination of Eberconazole (an antifungal) and Mometasone (a steroid) can help alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and inflammation, while also treating the underlying fungal infection.
