I've been using an antifungal cream for a while, and it seemed to be helping, but once I stopped using it, the itching started at the same spot again. Why does this keep happening? Is it normal for the itching to come back after stopping the cream? What should I do next?

View allI'm wondering if the Ethiglo Glutathione pills, recommended by my dermatologist for pigmentation and skin lightening, are actually effective. Or should I consider using Glutone 1000 instead?
Glutathione pill (Ethiglo) along with vitamin C is commonly used for pigmentation issues. Ethiglo is effective in improving skin tone and reducing pigmentation. Based on your dermatologist's recommendation, you can start with Ethiglo for better results. The usual dosage for Ethiglo is 500mg once daily.

I'm taking fluconazole tablets, specifically Fluka 150mg, once a week for three months to deal with my acne. I'm worried, could this medication cause any side effects for me? If there are any I should know about, please tell me.

I've been dealing with some really intense itching around my groin area, and it's starting to worry me. There are these small dark pink patches and nothing seems to really help. I've tried using Neosporin powder and cream, but they only provide some relief for a short while. I'm starting to think it might be a fungal issue. What could be causing this and what should I do to get lasting relief?
Severe itching in the groin area with dark pink small patches is likely indicative of a fungal infection, such as jock itch (tinea cruris). In addition to Neosporin, which is an antibiotic and may not be effective against fungi, you should consider using an antifungal medication. I recommend using Lotrimin Ultra cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing towels or clothing can help prevent the spread of the infection.
