Question

I've been dealing with ringworm on the back of my neck for over six months now, and I'm really struggling to find relief. Ive tried using TezcortGM ointment, but every time I apply it, painful boils appear after a few days. It's really uncomfortable, but if I stop using the ointment, the ringworm spreads and gets itchy and exfoliates. I've also tried taking SAFI, but it hasn't been much help either. I've seen a doctor, but that didn't seem to work out. This condition only affects my back neck and nowhere else on my body. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to manage or cure this issue.

Question

I've been really struggling with acne on my face, and it's starting to get on my nerves. On top of that, I've got these scars that just won't go away, no matter what I do. I've been trying to manage the acne with Clinsol gel, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Could you guide me on how to deal with both the acne and these stubborn scars?

Question

I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?

Question

I've been dealing with these annoying acne-like bumps on my hips and the back of my thighs. They don't bother me all the time, but when they do, they can be really itchy and painful. After some Googling, I think it might be folliculitis. I'm already on Isotretinoin for the acne on my face, and my lipid and liver function tests are normal. Do you have any suggestions for an ointment or something that could help with this?
