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'm dealing with this fungal infection for the past two months. It seems to get better when I'm on medication, but the moment I finish the course, the infection comes right back. Is there something I might be missing or doing wrong? It's getting really frustrating and I could use some advice on what to do next.

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.

I'm currently taking MDR tablets and have been for about two months. I'm wondering if it's safe to use Dologel on my lips while I'm on this treatment. Is it okay to use both, or should I avoid the Dologel? Would really appreciate your advice on this.

you can use it

I'm really concerned about my hair after an accident a month ago. I got stitches on my scalp and I'm worried about whether hair will grow back on the scar and around it. It seems like my hair is falling out more every day. Is there any treatment available other than surgery?
