Question 1

My husband has been dealing with a fungal infection for a while now. Hes tried different medications, but it keeps coming back. Can you suggest a treatment that might completely get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

Question 2

Dear Sir,
My relative suffered burn of 25 percent on legs due to hot oil spill . How many days are required to recover. She is hospitalized since past 15 days. Please tell, we are very panic.

Accepted Answer

It takes really long time to heal and depends on the depth of the burns,no need to worry follow your doctor advice and give her high protein diet for a better result.

Question 3

I wanted to know the best lotion for dandruff. Please tell whether I have to use Topisal lotion or D'free lotion . Try give me just the best out of the 2 lotions. Benefits of both and which is best for better results.

Accepted Answer

For dandruff, **Topisal lotion** (salicylic acid-based) is great if you have thick flakes or scalp buildup, as it exfoliates and reduces scaling. **D'Free lotion** (ketoconazole-based) is better if dandruff is due to fungal infections, as it targets the root cause.

If your dandruff is mild and itchy, go with D'Free for better long-term results. For severe scaling, start with Topisal and then switch to D'Free.

To address moles, acne, and achieve clear skin:Cleaning Method1. Gentle cleanser: Replace Acnelak soap with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil or Neutrogena).2.
