Antibiotics are ineffective against fungal infections because they only target bacteria. Fungal infections are generally treated with topical or, in severe cases, oral antifungal therapy under medical supervision. Self-medicating with antibiotics or antifungals is strongly discouraged, and a healthcare professional should be consulted to determine the appropriate treatment based on the type and severity of the infection.

Fungal skin infections are primarily treated with topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine. For extensive, persistent, or severe infections, oral antifungals like fluconazole or itraconazole may be prescribed. The choice of treatment depends on the type, location, and severity of the infection. It is advisable to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and guidance and to complete the full course of therapy as prescribed.

The choice of antifungal treatment depends on the type, location, and severity of the infection. Mild, superficial skin infections may respond to over-the-counter topical antifungals, while more severe, widespread, or systemic infections often require prescription oral or injectable antifungals. It is strongly advised not to self-medicate, as inappropriate use can worsen the infection, cause side effects, or mask underlying conditions. Consulting a doctor is essential for accurate diagnosis and safe, effective treatment.

Cervical erosion, also called cervical ectropion, occurs when the inner lining of the cervical canal extends onto the outer surface of the cervix. It is usually a benign and common condition, especially in women of reproductive age, and often does not cause serious health problems. Cervical erosion can sometimes cause mild discharge or spotting, but it is typically not cancerous. Your doctor may recommend observation, further evaluation, or treatment only if there are persistent symptoms or abnormal findings on follow-up tests.

It is not advisable to use Cosmelite while treating an active fungal infection. Cosmelite contains ingredients like hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a mild corticosteroid, which can irritate the skin and suppress local immunity, potentially worsening the fungal infection. You should pause Cosmelite use until the infection has fully cleared. Continue applying Fungicros as directed by your doctor, and once the fungal infection resolves, your dermatologist can guide you on when and how to safely restart Cosmelite to avoid irritation or recurrence.
