Question

I'm dealing with ringworm and demodectic scabies for the past month. I've tried a bunch of different ointments and creams meant for these issues, but they haven't really helped. Things seem to get a bit better for about a week, but then the symptoms come back. What should I do?

Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?
