Question 1

I've had a Tinea infection on my inner thighs, groin, belt area, and armpits for about 4-5 months now. I took a 4-week course of Tab Prugo 10 (once daily), Cap Canditral 100 (once daily), Ointment Propyzole (at night), and Ointment Sebifin (during the day). I did this course twice, increasing the dosage the second time, but the infection comes back after I finish the treatment. Can you suggest something more effective to get rid of Tinea for good?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I have dark circles under my eyes and Im wondering if its okay to apply mometasone cream. Also, can you tell me the brand name for MMS cream and what the possible side effects are?

Accepted Answer

Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

Question 3

I keep getting fungal infections in my groin. I've used about three tubes of COSVATE GM, but now the skin looks faded with red patches underneath. Will my skin go back to normal, or is the damage permanent?
