View allI've been dealing with some pretty bad itching around my tailbone and the upper part of my buttocks for the past 10 days. I've tried using Calamine, and it gave me a bit of relief but hasnt really solved the issue. Im starting to wonder if it might be a fungal infection. Do you think using an antifungal cream like Livafin could help with this? I'm just trying to figure out whats going on and how to get some relief.
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.

I'm really curious about finding the right cream for my skin. My skin tone is quite dark and a friend mentioned this uniwhite cream that might help lighten it. I'm wondering if it's actually effective for what I'm looking for, or if there's a better option you could recommend for dark skin?

I'm struggling with these really itchy rashes on my trunk and hands. I initially tried taking fexodine 180 mg twice a day but didn't see any improvement. Then, I switched to prednisolone 20 combined with cetirizine, but it's been five days and there's still no relief. Is there anything else I should try or any advice you could give? I'm getting pretty worried about this situation.
