I've spotted some areas on my penis that look like Vitiligo. There's no pain or itching. I cant remember how long theyve been there, but I recently just noticed them. What could this be, and is it something I should be worried about?

View allI'm dealing with ringworm in my groin, forehead, and near my eye. The one in the groin has been particularly persistent since I got pregnant 8 months ago, and it's just not going away. I havent taken any oral meds because Im breastfeeding my 8-month-old. I've been using Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop Ebernet, but I'm worried they're not enough. What can I do? Is there something else safer to try while nursing?
Ringworm (Tinea) can be challenging to treat, especially while breastfeeding. _Current Treatment_ Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop + Ebernet are topical treatments that can help manage symptoms. However, the continuous presence of ringworm in your groin area suggests that the treatment might not be fully effective. _Additional Measures_ 1. _Maintain good hygiene_: Wash the affected areas with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. 2. _Change clothes and bedding regularly_: Prevent the spread of fungal spores. 3. _Avoid sharing personal items_: Towels, clothing, and other personal items can spread the infection. _Breastfeeding-Friendly Oral Medications_ Consult your doctor about oral medications that are safe while breastfeeding, such as: 1. _Griseofulvin_: An antifungal medication that can be used while breastfeeding. 2. _Fluconazole_: A single-dose oral medication that can be used to treat ringworm. _Consult a Doctor_ Schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss: 1. _Adjusting your treatment plan_: Explore alternative topical treatments or oral medications. 2. _Ensuring the infection doesn't spread_: Get guidance on preventing the spread of ringworm to other areas. Remember to consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.

I'm having a skin issue on my thigh and it seems like it might be a ringworm. I've tried using antifungal cream and candid gold dusting powder, but it keeps coming back and spreading. What should I do to get rid of it for good?
-I'd recommend seeing a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get a stronger prescription antifungal treatment. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry to help prevent it from spreading.
