Question

I've recently had a bout with scabies, and the infection spread all over my stomach and back. The good news is the infection's cleared up, but now I'm left with these dark black spots everywhere. What can I do to make them go away?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Question

I've been using Femcinol A gel for around a year now. Lately, I've noticed small pimples showing up, and my face looks whiter compared to the rest of my body. There are also some tiny black dots and dark spots on my face. Could all this be because I've been using the gel too much, or is there something else going on? What should I do about it?
