I've noticed these small white patches on my thighs, and they've been there for about a month now. They seem to be spreading, and I'm getting really worried. There's no family history of vitiligo, which makes it even more confusing. I've tried using Momate cream and Tacroz 0.1 for two weeks, but there's no sign of improvement. Now, my dermatologist has prescribed Melgain lotion in the morning, Tacroz 0.1 at night, and T.Ascozinc for a month. Do you think this will actually help, or is there anything else I should be considering?

View allI've noticed these white spots at the corners of my lips for the past two months and I'm starting to get a bit worried. I'm not sure what's causing them or how to treat them. Could you suggest any medicine or remedy that might help with this?
It is there since last two months The white spots in the corners of your lips could be a fungal infection known as angular cheilitis. You can apply an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily for 2 weeks. Additionally, taking a B-complex vitamin supplement can help in resolving the condition.

I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?
It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.

I'm Shivam Gupta and I'm having a bit of a struggle with a recurring fungal infection. Last year around March or April, I first noticed red spots on my thigh that looked like a fungal infection. I talked to a doctor who suggested using Lobet GM Cream, and it went away after using it, but then the spots and itching came back. After two months, I consulted another doctor who recommended Candiforce 200 Tablets, FM 24 Tablets, and Serta Cream, and I used the cream for a year. Everything seemed fine, but now the fungal infection is back, and it's showing up on different parts of my body like my thighs, hands, stomach, and sometimes my head. I've also had carom seeds in my stomach and have taken medicine for that, but the fungal infection keeps coming back. What steps can I take to finally get rid of these infections?
Chronic fungal infections can be frustrating. _Recap of Your Treatment_ 1. _Lobet GM Cream_: Provided temporary relief, but the infection recurred. 2. _Candiforce 200 Tablet_: Antifungal medication that helped for a while, but the infection returned. 3. _Serta Cream_: Temporary relief, but the infection persisted. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to reassess your condition. 2. _Culture test_: A culture test can help identify the specific type of fungal infection. 3. _Broad-spectrum antifungal medication_: Your dermatologist might prescribe a stronger antifungal medication, such as fluconazole or itraconazole. 4. _Topical treatments_: In addition to oral medication, your dermatologist might recommend a topical cream or ointment to apply directly to the affected areas. 5. _Lifestyle modifications_: Keep the affected areas clean and dry, avoid sharing personal care items, and wear loose-fitting clothing to reduce moisture accumulation. _Dietary Changes_ 1. _Increase probiotics_: Consume probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, or take a probiotic supplement to support your immune system. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins. 3. _Balanced diet_: Eat a nutrient-rich diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
