Question 1

Ive been dealing with severe itching around my tailbone and the upper buttock creases for the past 10 days. I tried using Calamine lotion, which provided some relief but didnt help much. Could this be a fungal infection? If so, is it okay to use an antifungal cream like Livafin?

Accepted Answer

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the itching and flakiness.

Question 5

g dark spot of acne.I know it's side effects bt no option actually my marriage is on 10 July. Plz suggest me .

Accepted Answer

Betnovate-N is not recommended for treating dark spots of acne due to its side effects, especially when used on the face. Instead, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, to help lighten the dark spots. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected areas once at night for 2-3 months. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

Yes, you can use ketoconazole shampoo and clotrimazole skin lotion together for tinea capitis. In addition to that, continue taking terbinafine tablets as prescribed by your doctor.
