How to Eliminate Fungal Infection Permanently?

Patient's Query

I am suffering from fungal infection since last 6 months. I got relief for few days from the cream which I had bought from the chemist shop. Then this work is done properly. I asked a doctor and took Fluconazole medicine for two-four days, it did not make much difference, still it is itching a lot, so please suggest me some cream or medicine which can help in this problem. The problem should be eliminated from its roots

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Some over the counter creams can ease the pain temporarily, they are usually not persistent enough to eradicate the infection. You should visit a dermatologist they will be able to diagnose the particular fungi and prescribe medication like antifungal creams or oral medication such as terbinafine and itraconazole.

Hi I am a 16 year old male. I have had these 2 bumps on my foreskin I’m just wondering if it is penile cancer. They are whiteish. It doesn’t cause pain or bleeding or anything until a few days ago when I tried to one of them.

Male | 16

Those bumps on your foreskin might be Fordyce spots, not cancer. Fordyce spots are small, whitish-yellow bumps that sometimes show up on genitals. They're harmless, common, and usually painless. You shouldn't pick or pop them. If you're worried, talk to a dermatologist to get checked out. But chances are, it's nothing serious.

Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

A while back I realized I had a mole in my labia mayora. It’s between 0.4-0.5cm big, oval shaped and one color. I think I’ve had it for months now but since I really started paying attention to it I don’t think it has grown. Should I be concerned?

Can I use rosemary water for hair

Female | 13

The use of rosemary water for hair is quite beneficial. Rosemary shows the potential for increasing hair growth and stopping hair loss with its properties. It is a common method used to reduce dandruff and improve scalp health. Nevertheless, in case of any skin reaction or allergies, avoid it. Before applying it all over your scalp, it is crucial to try out a small area first.

I have a red, dry skaly penis head. It goes like that after masturbation or a hot shower. Normally it’s just slightly red. I’ve had this for about a year now

Male | 34

Having a crimson, parched, and flaky penis top can be unpleasant, however, there are only a few things to take into account. After masturbation or a hot bath, it’s typical to get marginally crimson. This could be due to irritation from soaps or lotions, a fungal infection, or even sensitivity to certain fabrics. To help, try using gentle soaps, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping the area dry. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a dermatologist who can provide the right treatment.

Female | 27

Excessive persistent itching throughout your body can become very irritating. It may worsen due to dry skin especially after a drug like Oratane. Sometimes the cause of itching could be allergies or skin conditions. Make sure to use mild creams that will keep your skin moist and avoid taking hot showers. You may have to see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
