View allI have a skin tag near my anus and I think I might also have a fissure. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? Are there medicines or home remedies that can help with the pain and healing?
Topical creams, sitz baths, and stool softeners may help anal fissures and skin tags. If conservative treatment fails, minor procedures may be needed.

I'm a bit worried because I used hydroquinone 4 for a dark spot on my nose from picking whiteheads, and it seemed to help at first, but after I stopped using it, my nose got even darker. I can't see a dermatologist right now, which is stressful. Will this darkness fade away eventually, even if it takes 6 or 8 months?
That is steroid based cream and has harmful side effects,and you are not supposed to stop it abruptly,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?
The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house.
