I've been dealing with tinea corporis on my hips for the last month. It's really itchy and swollen, and the medicine isn't really helping. What can I do to get some relief? Do you have any suggestions?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I'm noticing these weird rashes popping up on my chest and back. They have a round shape and seem scaly in the middle.

Could you tell me more about it and suggest any medications I should consider?

I've got acne scars on both of my cheeks and still get some acne too. Can you recommend a good night cream that might help with reducing these scars and acne?

I'm taking roxithromycin as my doctor prescribed, but after just two days, my skin's breaking out even more than before. What's going on? Is this normal, or should I be worried?
