So I've been dealing with this fungal infection on my mouth, forehead, belly, and thighs, and it's just so frustrating. Ive tried all sorts of creams like terbinafine, pendrum, and lulifine, but it just keeps coming back. I'm really worried about this and not sure what to do next. Any advice on how I can get rid of it for good?

Fungal infections can be stubborn and may require a different approach for effective treatment. I recommend trying a combination of oral antifungal medication along with topical creams for better results. You can take tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks along with applying clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?

To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.
