I'm struggling with a Tinea Cruris infection around my thighs and back. I used lulifin ointment with tenovate before, and it seemed to help at first, but after a month, the infection came back in the same spot. Now I'm using ZoleF ointment. Can you suggest any creams or medicines that could provide a permanent solution for this issue?

For Tinea Cruris infection, it is important to use antifungal medications consistently to prevent recurrence. In addition to Zole-F ointment, you can consider using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice daily for 2-4 weeks. It is important to continue the treatment for the full duration even if the symptoms improve to prevent the infection from coming back. Additionally, keeping the affected areas clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent reinfection.

My mom is dealing with herpes and it's really taking a toll on her. She's always feeling itchy, has burning skin, and the pain is just unbearable sometimes. Is there any treatment or medicine that could potentially help her get rid of it? I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice you can offer.

If your mother has never been diagnosed by a healthcare professional, its essential to have a doctor assess her symptoms. This will ensure she receives the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. Also, if she is experiencing genital herpes, its important to discuss measures to prevent spreading the virus to others, including safe sexual practices. In conclusion, while herpes cannot be completely cured, the right combination of antiviral medications, pain management, and lifestyle changes can make a huge difference in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

I've been struggling with a pretty bad face burn, and now my skin's turning really dark and blackish. I've tried using Hydroheal cream when it first happened and then switched to coconut oil. But I'm worried because it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Is there anything else I should be doing to help my skin recover?
