I got bitten by an acid fly and now I have these big red patches on my neck and face. The doctor I saw mentioned that the marks might not go away. Is there anything I can do to help remove these marks? I'm pretty worried about it.

I'm a bit concerned about my nails. The tips are starting to look more transparent, and when I use a nail cutter, I can trim them shorter, right where that clear part is, even though the nail bed above still seems fine. I wish I could show you a picture so you could take a closer look and tell me what's going on. I'm Jp, by the way. Any thoughts on this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called onycholysis, where the nail separates from the nail bed and becomes transparent at the tips. This can be caused by various factors such as trauma, fungal infections, psoriasis, or underlying medical conditions. To treat onycholysis, you can try using an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (Lamisil) cream applied to the affected nails twice daily. Additionally, keeping your nails dry and clean, avoiding harsh chemicals, and wearing gloves when doing tasks that may damage your nails can help prevent further damage. If the condition persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got these dark patches on my face and started using Dermadew Aloe lotion. Should I be applying it all over my face or just on the dark patches? I'm a bit confused about the best way to use it and could use some advice.

You can apply Dermadew Caloe lotion on the affected areas of your face where you have dark patches. Use a small amount of lotion and gently massage it into the skin until it is absorbed. Apply it twice daily for best results.

I'm dealing with these rashes in my armpits and groin area for the past 45 months or so. I've tried everything from fourderm to quadriderm creams to feel better. Just recently, I put on ring guard and an hour later, it started burning. My doctor mentioned using lulibet, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any idea what's going on or what might actually help?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in your armpits and groin area. Lulibet cream contains the active ingredients luliconazole, which is used to treat fungal infections of the skin. You can apply a thin layer of lulibet cream on the affected areas once daily for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to wash and dry the affected areas before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
