I've been using Persol Forte cream for my acne, and I've noticed that while my acne has reduced, the areas where it was have now become darker. Should I keep using the cream, or is it better to stop? Any recommendations for a cream that can help with the dark spots?

I'm wondering if it's safe to take DOXT SL 100 twice a day, after breakfast and dinner, for a long time like 3 to 4 months continuously. It's been suggested for a skin issue. Do you know if there's a time limit when this medication might start causing problems? Are there any precautions I should be aware of?

So I've been dealing with this fungal infection on my mouth, forehead, belly, and thighs, and it's just so frustrating. Ive tried all sorts of creams like terbinafine, pendrum, and lulifine, but it just keeps coming back. I'm really worried about this and not sure what to do next. Any advice on how I can get rid of it for good?

Fungal infections can be stubborn and may require a different approach for effective treatment. I recommend trying a combination of oral antifungal medication along with topical creams for better results. You can take tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks along with applying clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

Consider consulting a dermatologist for persistent crotch itching, as it may be a fungal or bacterial infection, or a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis; in the meantime, maintain good hygiene
