What kills fungus on scalp?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most scalp fungal infections can be treated with topical over-the-counter (OTC) treatments. These come in the form of ointments, shampoos, or foams such as fluconazole. It is better to take a Dermatologist consult before using OTC medications.

View allI'm really worried about this dark spot I've got on my mouth and nose. Could it be because of the whiteheads on my nose? It's been bothering me a lot, and I'm really curious about what's causing it. What should I be doing to help with this?

I'm dealing with a weird ulcer on my scrotum that's been there for about two weeks now. At first, it was really painful, and I thought it might be something like a baltod. Plus, there was this discomfort in my groin where my thigh and abdomen meet. In the second week, the blister turned more into a lump with some yellow discharge, but now that discharge is gone, and so is the top layer of skin. What could be going on? Should I be concerned about this?
To help with the pain and promote healing, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the ulcer. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've got these yellow nails that are really painful, and I'm not sure who I should see about it. My fingernails are turning yellow, and it's worrying me. Any idea which doctor is best to consult for something like this?
Yellow nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or other underlying health issues. You can start by using an over-the-counter antifungal nail cream like Lamisil cream twice a day on the affected nails. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine. Make sure to keep your nails clean and dry, and avoid wearing nail polish until the condition improves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
