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?

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.

I'm noticing a lot of premature grey hairs and it seems like they're increasing every day. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?
Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But you can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.

I've been dealing with recurring ringworm issues and I'm really getting frustrated. I've gone through three cycles of using candiforce 100mg and antifungal cream according to the 15-day treatment but it just keeps coming back a few days after I finish. Every time it seems to be completely gone, it just reappears out of the blue. What should I do for a permanent solution? I'm really tired of this repeating cycle.
