Ive been dealing with Tinea Cruris infection on my thighs and back for a while. I used Lulifin and Tenovate ointments, and the infection reduced, but its come back after a month. Im currently using Zole-F ointment. What should I use for a more permanent solution?

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.

Delayed periods, hair damage, and nail damage could be indicative of hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other underlying health issues. Here are some potential causes: Hormonal Imbalances 1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, hair loss, and nail damage. 2. Thyroid disorders: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. Nutritional Deficiencies 1. Iron deficiency: Can cause hair loss, nail damage, and irregular periods. 2. Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, vitamin D, or omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to hair and nail damage. Other Potential Causes 1. Stress: Prolonged stress can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods and hair and nail damage. 2. Weight changes: Significant weight gain or loss can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. 3. Genetic predisposition: Family history can play a role in hormonal imbalances and hair and nail damage. To address these issues, consider the following steps: 1. Consult a gynecologist: Discuss your delayed periods and other symptoms with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. 2.
