Question 1

I'm Shivam Gupta and I'm having a bit of a struggle with a recurring fungal infection. Last year around March or April, I first noticed red spots on my thigh that looked like a fungal infection. I talked to a doctor who suggested using Lobet GM Cream, and it went away after using it, but then the spots and itching came back. After two months, I consulted another doctor who recommended Candiforce 200 Tablets, FM 24 Tablets, and Serta Cream, and I used the cream for a year. Everything seemed fine, but now the fungal infection is back, and it's showing up on different parts of my body like my thighs, hands, stomach, and sometimes my head. I've also had carom seeds in my stomach and have taken medicine for that, but the fungal infection keeps coming back. What steps can I take to finally get rid of these infections?

Accepted Answer

Chronic fungal infections can be frustrating.

_Recap of Your Treatment_

2. _Candiforce 200 Tablet_: Antifungal medication that helped for a while, but the infection returned.
3. _Serta Cream_: Temporary relief, but the infection persisted.

_Next Steps_

2. _Culture test_: A culture test can help identify the specific type of fungal infection.

4. _Topical treatments_: In addition to oral medication, your dermatologist might recommend a topical cream or ointment to apply directly to the affected areas.
5. _Lifestyle modifications_: Keep the affected areas clean and dry, avoid sharing personal care items, and wear loose-fitting clothing to reduce moisture accumulation.

_Dietary Changes_

Question 3

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching and rashes around my scrotum and anus area for a few months now. It's pretty uncomfortable, and now I've noticed that the skin there has developed some dark patches. I've been using Candid powder and Suthol after showers, but it doesn't seem to be completely resolving the issue. Is there something else I could be doing to get rid of the itching?

candid cream for local application , tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient..

Is oily hair good?

Sebum or oil is secreted from scalp which naturally nourishes the hair and keeps it healthy. Only when the secretions become excessive, they clog the hair follicles, trap dust and cause hair loss.
