My ward has been having some skin rashes and itchiness all over his body for the past 15 days, and its really starting to worry me. The rash is consistently noticeable, and he feels a bit uncomfortable because of it. Can you provide some insight into what might be causing this and what steps we should take?

For your ward's persistent skin rashes and itchiness lasting 15 days, it's essential to consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause, which could be allergic reactions, eczema, dermatitis, or other conditions; in the meantime, encourage your ward to avoid scratching, apply cool compresses, and use over-the-counter anti-itch creams or oral antihistamines to alleviate discomfort.

I've been dealing with what looks like a ringworm on my cheeks. I'm really worried it's a fungal infection. I'm wondering if it's safe to use Candid B cream on my face for this. Can you advise if that's a good idea?

Yes, you can apply Candid B cream on your cheeks for fungal infection like ringworm. Apply a thin layer of Candid B cream twice a day on the affected area after cleaning and drying it. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
