I've got this strange rash on my arm that I noticed a few days ago. It's just one spot, and it's circular with a scaly edge, but the center is really red. I'm wondering what it might be. Any ideas?

There is a possibility that the rash you are describing is a ringworm infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with molluscum for about three months now, and it's been really frustrating. I've been visiting a dermatologist every week, and they keep removing around 45 pimples on my face each time using needling. My doctor suggested I use a spray called Glizigen four times a day and also take some tablets to boost my immunity. But honestly, I'm not really seeing much improvement. Is there something more I should be doing, or does this treatment just take more time to show results?
