I've been using Flutivate cream on and off for about 8 years now. It gives my skin a nice glow whenever I apply it, but if I stop using it, I end up with a rash, and then I feel like I have to start using it again. I'm really not sure what to do. Could you give me some honest advice about this situation?

To break the cycle of dependence on Flutivate cream, consult a dermatologist to create a gradual tapering schedule, explore alternative treatments like topical retinoids or vitamin C serums, and address underlying skin issues to minimize rebound effects and promote healthier skin.

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching and rashes around my scrotum and anus area for a few months now. It's pretty uncomfortable, and now I've noticed that the skin there has developed some dark patches. I've been using Candid powder and Suthol after showers, but it doesn't seem to be completely resolving the issue. Is there something else I could be doing to get rid of the itching?

I've been struggling with a stubborn ringworm infection on my inner thigh, and it's just not going away. I've already tried some over-the-counter creams, but they aren't doing the trick. I'm getting pretty frustrated and worried. What else can I do to treat this persistent issue? Is there something stronger I should be using? Any advice would be really helpful.
