I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now, and I'm trying to stop, but every time I do, my face gets darker, so I've started again but only twice a week. The thing is, my face is still gradually getting darker. I'm not sure what to do. I gave Melaglow a try for fairer skin, but it didn't really work for me, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest something that would actually help brighten my skin? I've got a darker skin tone and would appreciate any advice.

Question

I've been dealing with ringworm for about six months and haven't had any luck with the creams I've tried. Someone suggested I try Derobin cream, so I used a lot of it for around 11 hours. Now my skin is burnt and really red, especially on my thighs, penis, and testicles. It's really painful and I'm worried. Can you recommend any creams or medicine to help fix this issue?

Question

My mom is about 60 and has been diagnosed with Shingles. It all started with back pain last Sunday and within a week, red rashes appeared on her back. We initially assumed it was due to the hot weather, but our family doctor confirmed it's Shingles. She's been in a lot of pain and says it's burning. We're pretty worried about it. Should we consult a skin specialist for this? What should we do next?
