If ringworm and rash on your inner thighs persist despite two weeks of Zimig 250 and cream, the infection may be resistant or misdiagnosed. You should consult a doctor, who may test the skin and prescribe a suitable cream or oral medicine to clear the infection. Avoid self-medicating with multiple creams.

I have a fungal infection on my thighs and now on my forehead for about two months. What type of disease is this, and how can it be cured?

A fungal infection on your thighs and forehead for two months is likely ringworm or another skin fungus. It occurs when fungus grows on the skin, often worsened by sweating or a weakened immune system. Treatment includes antifungal creams or oral medications, keeping the skin clean and dry, and consulting a dermatologist for proper treatment.

There has been a lot of dryness and itching on my fingers for the past few days, and the skin is peeling off. Can you suggest something?

Dryness, itching, and peeling of the fingers are often due to frequent handwashing, contact with irritants, or mild eczema. Use a gentle moisturiser several times a day, avoid harsh soaps, and wear gloves while cleaning. If it does not improve or worsens, a doctor may suggest a medicated cream.
