My husband has been struggling with a recurring fungal infection, and despite trying different medications, it keeps coming back. Can you recommend a medicine that can completely get rid of it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

View allI'm using Minokem N2 for my beard growth since June, but recently, in the last couple of weeks, I've noticed a lot of pimples popping up on my right cheek. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should stop using Minokem. Could you also give me some advice on how to get rid of these pimples?
I recommend stopping the use of Minokem N2% and consulting with a dermatologist for further evaluation. To help cure the pimples, you can use a topical acne treatment like Benzoyl Peroxide gel (2.5%) twice daily on the affected area after washing your face with a gentle cleanser. Additionally, you can use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. If the pimples persist or worsen, please seek medical advice from a dermatologist.

I've been taking griseofulvin as prescribed and now I've noticed that my ear lobes and the skin under my nose have started peeling and are now scabbing over. I'm not sure what to do about it. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm currently taking isotretinoin capsules, 20 mg per day, and was wondering if it's safe to use benzoyl peroxide on my skin at the same time. I've heard about potential issues or reactions but I'm not really sure. Could this combination cause any problems, and should I be worried about any side effects?
yes
