Question

I've been dealing with ringworm for a whole year now, and none of the treatments I've tried seem to be making any difference. I've used terbinafine and clotrimazole cream, ketoconazole lotion and soap, and even took terefin and itrasys tablets. It's getting really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what I could try next or why these aren't working? What should I do?

Question

I'm dealing with pimples and marks on my face and I'm currently using tivenca gel in the afternoon and at night, plus peroclin gel in the evening. I'm curious about something though when I apply the tivenca gel at night and leave it on while I sleep, then wash my face with tone n glow face wash in the morning, am I somehow reducing the effectiveness of the tivenca gel? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Question

I've been struggling with what I think is jock itch for over a year and a half. I've tried all sorts of oral meds and creams, and while the redness has cleared up, my entire groin, buttocks, and underarms have turned really dark. Plus, they itch sometimes. What can I do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm curious about why my hand palms have turned completely black. My overall health is fine and my skin is generally a yellow color, but this change in my palms has got me wondering what's going on. Could you help me understand the possible reasons?
