My husband is 35 and he's developed ringworm near his pubic area. We're really looking for some advice on how to deal with the itching and burning. Is there a specific cream or treatment you'd recommend that could help him? We're quite concerned and could use some guidance.

I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

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've been dealing with p versicolor on my chest and back for several years, and recently it's spread to my forearms and a bit on my face. I'm using Keraglo AD lotion daily, Saborbar soap, and taking Fluzon 150 mg tablets once a week. It's been two weeks, but I haven't noticed much improvement. Should I keep going with this treatment, or should I see if my doctor can suggest something else?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
