I've just turned 31 and I'm dealing with this annoying fungal rash on my skin for the first time. I vaguely remember my mom having it once too. I'm not too keen on taking oral meds, so I'm wondering if there's a cream that can help treat this?

For fungal skin infections, you can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream called Clotrimazole. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2 to 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm concerned about my friend who was advised not to use steroids by the doctor. Would it be okay for him to take Suhagra tablets instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure he's making the right decision.

No he is not supposed to use unless indicated and advised by your doctor.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the lotions my doctor recommended for white patches on my lips. They told me to use Melbild and Tacrovera, but I'm not sure which one should go on first or if it matters at all. Can I just apply them in any order? I'm really hoping to get this right.

The Melbild lotion should be applied first on the white patches on your lips. Apply a thin layer of Melbild lotion on the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. After the Melbild lotion has dried, you can then apply the Tacrovera lotion. Use the Tacrovera lotion as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily, in the morning and at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully for the best results.
