View allI've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?
I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.

I'm dealing with ringworm in my groin, forehead, and near my eye. The one in the groin has been particularly persistent since I got pregnant 8 months ago, and it's just not going away. I havent taken any oral meds because Im breastfeeding my 8-month-old. I've been using Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop Ebernet, but I'm worried they're not enough. What can I do? Is there something else safer to try while nursing?
Ringworm (Tinea) can be challenging to treat, especially while breastfeeding. _Current Treatment_ Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop + Ebernet are topical treatments that can help manage symptoms. However, the continuous presence of ringworm in your groin area suggests that the treatment might not be fully effective. _Additional Measures_ 1. _Maintain good hygiene_: Wash the affected areas with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. 2. _Change clothes and bedding regularly_: Prevent the spread of fungal spores. 3. _Avoid sharing personal items_: Towels, clothing, and other personal items can spread the infection. _Breastfeeding-Friendly Oral Medications_ Consult your doctor about oral medications that are safe while breastfeeding, such as: 1. _Griseofulvin_: An antifungal medication that can be used while breastfeeding. 2. _Fluconazole_: A single-dose oral medication that can be used to treat ringworm. _Consult a Doctor_ Schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss: 1. _Adjusting your treatment plan_: Explore alternative topical treatments or oral medications. 2. _Ensuring the infection doesn't spread_: Get guidance on preventing the spread of ringworm to other areas. Remember to consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.
