I've been told to use Anaboom AD lotion, but the pharmacist gave me Anaboom AD Shampoo instead and said to use it like a lotion. I'm not sure if that's okay. Can I use the shampoo in place of the lotion, or do I need to get the right product?

What does HPV look like on a man?
In men, genital warts can infect the urethra, penis, scrotum, and rectal area. The warts can appear as soft, raised masses with a surface that can be smooth (on the penile shaft) or rough with many fingerlike projections (anal warts). Others may appear pearly, cauliflower-like, or rough with a slightly dark surface.

I've been dealing with a ringworm infection for about four months now. I've tried using Onabet ointment, Sapat lotion, and even Dettol, but nothing seems to work. The infection is only getting worse, spreading to my underarms, near my genital area, and thighs. Could you suggest what I should do or apply? Should I consider getting a test done?
Four months of ringworm infection requires a more comprehensive approach. *Immediate Actions* 1. *Stop using Onabet ointment, Sapat lotion, and Detol*: These may not be effective against ringworm. 2. *Keep the affected areas clean and dry*: Wash with mild soap and warm water. *Alternative Treatments* 1. *Clotrimazole cream or powder*: Apply twice a day for 2-4 weeks. 2. *Terbinafine cream or powder*: Apply twice a day for 2-4 weeks. 3. *Itraconazole capsules*: Consult a doctor for prescription and dosage. *Additional Measures* 1. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Reduce moisture accumulation. 2. *Change clothes and bed sheets regularly*: Prevent reinfection. 3. *Avoid sharing personal items*: Towels, clothes, etc. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance. 2. *Fungal culture test*: Confirm the infection and identify the fungal strain. 3. *Blood tests*: Rule out underlying conditions, such as diabetes or immune system disorders. *Prevention* 1. *Maintain good hygiene*: Regularly wash and dry affected areas. 2. *Avoid close contact with infected individuals*: Prevent transmission. 3. *Keep pets clean and healthy*: Regular grooming and veterinary check-ups.
