I've got this small, round red spot on my hip, and I suspect it might be some sort of fungal infection. I've been applying a cream called Bactafuz, which has fusidic acid in it. But I'm not sure if it's really the right treatment for this. Do you think I'm using the right cream for this kind of infection, or should I be trying something else? It's been worrying me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm really worried because my forehead is getting darker on both sides, and the skin on those areas is turning black. I've tried all kinds of remedies, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any advice or solutions that might help?
