I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?

A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.

I've been dealing with ringworm on the inner part of my thigh for about 9 months now. It seems to heal when I use medicine, but then it just comes back over and over. It even flares up after I itch it. I've tried using IT Mac 200, Terbest, and a bunch of other antifungal creams, but it keeps returning. I'm really frustrated and wondering if this is something that's going to stick around forever, or if there's anything else I can do to finally get rid of it. Any advice?

Chronic Fungal infection needs long-term treatment, personal hygiene measures are most important to cure this disease, practice special care towards affected area.
