I've got this boil in my underarm that's developed these tiny mouths or openings on it. The doctor prescribed me Ultimox 625, then switched to Linox 600, and gave me Fusiderm cream to apply. I'm just really anxious if this treatment will actually get rid of the boil for good. What do you think?

I've noticed that the skin around my private area has turned a black color and it's really itchy. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing this and what the best treatment options could be. Can you help me figure out how to deal with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in your private area. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to allow for better air circulation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with ringworm for a year now, and allopathy hasn't really helped. I've switched to Ayurveda, and it seems to be showing some good results. But I came across something online that mentioned Salicylic Acid or sapat lotion might work fast, like in just two days. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and would really appreciate an honest answer. Is there any truth to this idea?
