I have been suffering from ringworm on my face for two months, and Dermi 5 Cream has not provided relief. The area is increasing daily. What other cream or medicine can I use?

If your facial ringworm is spreading and Dermi 5 has not helped, stop using it. Since it has been two months and is increasing, it is best to see a dermatologist. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid scratching, and wash pillow covers and towels regularly.
I am experiencing red round rings between my thighs and genitals with irritation. They are spreading and turning blackish despite using ointments. What should I do?

If you have red, round, itchy patches between your thighs and genitals that are spreading and turning blackish, it is likely a fungal infection that is not being treated correctly. Keep the area clean, dry, and avoid tight clothing. Wash your towels and clothes regularly to prevent it from coming back. If it continues to spread or is very uncomfortable, consult a dermatologist.
I am experiencing skin infections, hair loss, and cold symptoms.
Dr G Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
Skin infections, hair fall, and cold symptoms together usually mean your body is under stress or your immunity is low. For now, keep the infected skin clean and dry, use an antifungal or antibacterial cream if needed, and avoid scratching. For hair fall, eat protein-rich foods, stay hydrated, and avoid harsh hair products. For the cold, take rest, drink warm fluids, and use steam inhalation for comfort. If the skin infection is spreading, the hair fall is severe, or the cold lasts more than a week, it is best to see a doctor for proper treatment.
I have had ringworm and a fungal infection for the last two years. They come back after treatment, and I have used Dermi 5 Cream, Ketoconazole tablets, and Fluka 150. What should I do?
Dr G Reddy
M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)
If your ringworm keeps coming back, it means the infection is not fully clearing or the Dermi-5 cream is making it worse. Stop using Dermi-5 and consult a doctor for a proper antifungal cream. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and wash towels and clothes regularly.
I have itching in my private area. I have been using Dermi 5 Cream, but it only helps temporarily. What can I do for a permanent solution?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar
M Pharmacy
Itching in the private area can be caused by fungal infections, bacterial infections, irritation, or other conditions. Dermi 5 Cream may provide temporary relief if it has an antifungal or anti-inflammatory effect, but persistent or recurring itching suggests the underlying cause has not been fully treated. For a permanent solution, it is essential to get a proper diagnosis from a doctor or dermatologist, who may recommend appropriate antifungal, antibacterial, or other targeted treatment based on the cause. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene, wearing breathable cotton underwear, avoiding harsh soaps or irritants, and keeping the area dry can help prevent recurrence.
