On my penis, I have a fungal infection. And for the past six to seven months, I have been taking every kind of medication, including tarbinafine, dexamethason, fluconazole, itraconazole, and clobeta gm ointment. What can I do then to get rid of this illness?

Long-lasting infection on the penis is usually Tinea or sometimes Candidiasis, and it often becomes chronic if steroid creams like Clobeta-GM. Keep the area very clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear. Since it has lasted many months, please consult a dermatologist for tests (like fungal scraping) to confirm the diagnosis and rule out resistant infection or other conditions.

I have a fungal infection.?For that, I use Clobet GM ointment, but it's no longer effective. I also take ?Tab. FLUCANOZOL 150

Fungal infections often don?t heal if you keep using steroid creams like Clobet-GM, as they can suppress symptoms but worsen the infection. It?s better to stop it and use a proper antifungal cream. Fluconazole 150 mg can help, but may need to be taken weekly for a few weeks only under doctor guidance. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothes, and don?t stop treatment early. If it still doesn?t improve, see a doctor as resistant fungal infection may need stronger treatment.

I'm getting ringworm on my face, and it's getting worse. I'm using Clobeta right now; is it useful?

Ringworm on the face (Tinea faciei) usually worsens with steroid creams like Clobetasol, so they are not useful and should be stopped. Instead, use a proper antifungal cream like Luliconazole or Clotrimazole twice daily for 3-4 weeks, even after it looks better. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid touching or sharing towels, and do not apply any steroid creams. If it keeps spreading, consult a doctor for oral antifungal treatment.

Every time I shave, I get white patches on my cheeks that look like scalpy dandruff. If I don't take care of them, they occasionally travel to my eyebrows and ears. I've been using Clobeta, but it just offers short-term respite. Please advise.

What you describe sounds like Seborrheic dermatitis, which commonly affects the beard area, eyebrows, and ears and can flare after shaving. Using strong steroid creams like Clobeta gives only temporary relief and can worsen it over time, so it?s better to stop. Use an antifungal cream like Ketoconazole or Clotrimazole twice daily and wash the area with a mild anti-dandruff face wash or shampoo. Keep the skin clean and moisturised, and avoid harsh shaving products. If it keeps recurring, consult a dermatologist for proper long-term control.

This 5-year-old foot fungal infection causes itching, inflammation, and a red scar around the skin. Please recommend the best course of action for treating a fungal infection in patients who are taking more medications, such as clobeta, Beclo, topical creams, and oral medications.

A long-standing foot fungal infection (Tinea pedis) often becomes chronic if steroid creams like Clobeta or Beclomethasone are used, as they worsen the fungus, so these should be stopped. Since it has lasted 5 years, consult a dermatologist for tests and proper long-term treatment to fully clear the infection.

My skin turned dark due to a water change in my location,?could you maybe recommend a medication to restore my color?

Skin darkening after a water or climate change is usually due to dryness, irritation, or mild Hyperpigmentation. Focus on gentle care rather than strong medicines. Use a good moisturiser daily and a mild cream like Kojic acid or Azelaic acid at night to improve skin tone. Always apply sunscreen in the daytime, avoid harsh soaps, and stay hydrated. If the darkness persists or spreads, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation.
