Question 1

I'm dealing with a boil where I've managed to remove the pus, but the core hasn't come out yet. While the pain has gone down, I'm still a bit worried because I've dealt with recurring boils in the past. Right now, I'm dressing it two to three times a day and using Betadine ointment for it. I'm really careful about hygiene when cleaning the boils, but I'm not sure if Betadine is actually good for them. Could you suggest some medicine to help cure the boil and prevent them from coming back?

Accepted Answer

Take tab augmentin 625 mg orally,thrice daily for atleast 5 days .

Question 2

I'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection around my genitals and it's been a real pain for about 3 years now. I've tried creams like Soframycin and taken Candistat tablets, but nothing seems to help long-term. It tends to get worse when I sweat, and it's really itchy and turns red. Im worried and don't know what else to try. Do you have any advice on what could work or whats causing this?

Accepted Answer

A persistent fungal infection near the genitals, especially one that increases with sweat and causes itching and redness, often requires strong, prolonged antifungal treatment. If the current treatment hasnt been effective, I recommend following up with your doctor for a more tailored approach, potentially involving oral antifungal medication and more careful management of moisture and hygiene in the affected area.

Question 3

I've been hearing a lot about oral glutathione tablets with Vitamin C for skin whitening, and I'm curious if they really work. Are there any solid clinical studies backing this up? Have you seen any noticeable results in your patients who use these oral glutathione supplements? There are so many expensive products out there, and I'd love to get some insights before making a purchase decision.

Accepted Answer

There are no proven studies to say that oral glutathione causes skin whitening. But there are patients who have taken it, and have noticed a difference. But that's not same with everyone. There are various lasers and peels available to enhance your skin color by one or two shades. Along with the procedures, vitamin C serum is definitely helpful, not only for pigmentation, but also for skin rejuvenation and as an anti aging cream.

I've noticed some white patches on my skin and I'm worried they might be a fungal infection. Should I be washing my clothes separately because of this? I'm really concerned about how this might spread or affect others in my household. What precautions should I be taking?
