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.

Hey doc, a few days ago, I was trying to get rid of some color on my forehead by rubbing it with a cloth, and now I've ended up with a small wound. It's healed, but there's this little black mark left behind. Any advice on how to get rid of this mark on my forehead?

I'm Pratik and I've been on a skin fairness treatment for the past two months. The doctors had me use a series of creams like MF Sone, Desosoft, Sudif, Ekran water gel, and KLM AHA. I've noticed some positive changes, but I'm currently just using MF SudiF cream, a face wash, and sunscreen. I'm worried that my skin might darken again. Can I start using MF Sone cream again if that happens? If it's not advisable, can you let me know why?

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
