I'm really struggling with these black spots on my legs and hands, and after taking a bath my skin starts itching and I get rashes that eventually turn into black spots. My face is also affectedthere are small holes and black marks, and since I have a darker complexion, they stand out and look terrible. It's tough because people make fun of me for it. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

Question

I'm really struggling with my skin right now. I've been using panderm plus cream for the last three years. It works well, but the side effects are messing me up. Every time I try to stop using it, my face starts itching, burning, breaking out, and gets all red and flaky in just two days. I'm desperate to stop using it but just can't handle how my skin reacts. Do you have any suggestions for something that won't have these crazy side effects and could help keep my skin clear and glowing?

How do you treat body rash?

Question

I'm dealing with a frustrating fungal infection near my groin area that's causing a lot of itching and has turned the skin black in that spot. It's been going on for about four months now. I've been using Terbinaforce for around 6 to 8 weeks, and I've also been applying candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night. How long might it take to see some real improvement? Is there anything else I should be doing to help this heal?
