I'm dealing with this ringworm issue on my testicles and the area around them for the past 5-6 years, and even though I've used many antifungal creams recommended by doctors, nothing seems to work. It's especially bad when I sweat a lot in the summer, and the itching gets unbearable. Do you have any advice on how I can permanently get rid of this? Any help would be really appreciated.

I'm wondering about the FAS 3 kit instructions. Is it supposed to be taken once a week? And does that mean it's a two-week course, like you take one kit on one day this week and then another the next week? Or is just one kit enough for the whole course?

FAS 3 kit is typically taken as a single dose. The kit contains multiple tablets that are meant to be taken all at once, not spread out over multiple weeks. So, one kit is usually enough to complete the course of treatment.

I've had a soft tissue cell tumor on the tip of my nose for about 34 months now. It's reddish like a strawberry and was growing slowly but hasn't changed in the last month. I did CT scan and USG FNAC but they only collected blood samples. Do I need surgery for this or is there another treatment option? The color and location worry me

ent opinion is advised.
