Which oil is best for face?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Usage of oil on face depends on skin type. In persons with oily skin, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of pores. In persons with dry or flaky skin, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the skin. Coconut oil, almond oil are some of the natural oils which are good for skin.

I've been dealing with this skin issue in my genital area for the past two weeks. There are these red rings that are super irritating and burn a lot. Ive tried using creams like ringguard and beetex, but they didnt help. Any idea what I can do about it? It's starting to really worry me.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as a ringworm. I recommend trying an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) as prescribed by your doctor. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If your symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I had a Fungal Infection Tinea cruris in my groin area last year and got it treated with Lulifin cream and Abzorb powder. Now, I'm seeing some traces of the infection coming back, and Lulifin is nowhere to be found in stores. Could you suggest an alternative to luliconazole that I can use?

Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon or an endocrinologist for personalized advice and guidance. They will assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment.
