I've been using hydroquinone 2% for a year and had great results with my hyperpigmentation, especially on my forehead and around my mouth. Recently, I switched to taking glutathione 500mg tablets and applying Kojivit Ultra cream for the last two months. Im really curious and a bit worriedwill these two new treatments give me the same awesome results as hydroquinone, or should I consider starting another cycle with hydroquinone 2%?

I'm really struggling with a stubborn fungal infection that's been bothering me for the last 4 months. I've tried using amorolfine, ketoconazole, and a cream with berconazole, but it just won't go away for good. Although the redness disappears a few days after applying the medication, it keeps coming back on my bump and buttocks about a week later. What can I do to finally get rid of these annoying red patches?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
