Skin issues(ring guards)
Hello Doctor. As i have been using some medication for my skin allergies.(ring guard on body). There is no effect on that. The allergy stops while am using the medication and a while after that. As I stop using medication, for a while after getting some results. It again starts growing(ring guards) on my body parts. How should be dealing with this??

Hello dear. Creams like ring guard, ring cutter, fourderm etc. will make your rashes worse. For a while, you will get relief but, rashes will come back with more severity
For best results, share a clear picture of the affected skin via online consultation and follow the prescription

Hello..fungal infection requires treatment with oral tablets and creams for 4-6 weeks. Using over the counter creams like steroids can suppress infection at that time but lead to recurrence.I suggest you consult with pictures so that you may be given the appropriate treatment.
