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 using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Candid cream for local application is advised, once a day,at bed time for 2 weeks is advised.

I've been dealing with acne breakouts for a while now, and once they go away, they leave these dark spots on my face. My skin's pretty oily and almost half of my face has these spots, and it's really getting on my nerves. Can you recommend any lotions or gels that actually work on clearing up these spots and controlling the acne?
