So, I've been dealing with a fungal skin infection and tried using KZ soap for about three weeks. I stopped using it, and now, just a week later, the infection is back. I'm 27 and a bit worried. What should I do next?

-It seems the fungal infection wasn't fully cleared. I recommend visiting a doctor for a proper antifungal treatment plan. You might need a longer course or a different medication to fully resolve the issue.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection and now I've noticed some stretch marks appearing too. It's really been bothering me and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice on how to treat both the infection and the marks? It's been really uncomfortable and I'm worried about it.

Stretch marks happen only if you use steroid creams. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.

I've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?

I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.
