Question 2

Hi Doctor,Ive been noticing a strong smell coming from my groin area, kind of like sweaty socks, especially when Im sitting. This started about a week ago. A couple of months ago, I had a fungal infection around my anus, and I completed the treatment...

Accepted Answer

I recommend adding an antifungal cream such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) twice daily to the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I recommend using hydrocortisone cream 1% for the itching on your right butt cheek. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

Question 4

I am suffering from ringworms its very itchy and irritating It heals for sometime and come backwhat to do ? I have been used excel m

Accepted Answer

Ringworm can be frustrating and uncomfortable.

Understanding Ringworm

Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis, is a fungal infection that affects the skin. It's highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surface.

Why Ringworm Keeps Coming Back

The recurrence of ringworm can be due to several factors:

1. Incomplete treatment: If the treatment is not completed or is not effective, the fungus may not be fully eliminated, leading to recurrence.
2. Contaminated environment: If the environment is not properly cleaned and disinfected, the fungus can survive and re-infect you.
3. Weakened immune system: A weakened immune system can make you more susceptible to fungal infections, including ringworm.
4. Skin-to-skin contact: Direct contact with an infected person or animal can spread the infection.

Question 5

How to apply diprovate plus steroidal  lotion to the scalp for dandruff. Can I apply directly to the hair like our regular hair oil.

Accepted Answer

Diprovate Plus lotion is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including dandruff. To apply it to the scalp for dandruff, you should part your hair and apply a small amount of the lotion directly onto the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips. It is important to avoid applying it to the hair shafts like regular hair oil, as it is specifically meant for the scalp. Use it as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.
