I had ringworm a while back, and though it's treated now, I'm left with some pretty noticeable scars. The ones on my butt are really dark, and I've got them on my back and midriff too. Is there a way to get rid of them completely in a few months? Are there any creams or treatments you would recommend for this?

You can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using Mederma, which is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of scars. Remember to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening of the scars.

View allI've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?
Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that may not respond well to topical creams alone. However, there are other treatment options available. One option is to use topical corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and itching. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet light. In some cases, oral medications such as antihistamines or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.

Can you give me any advice on a cream or natural remedy to help fade a skin burn mark on my face? I bleached my skin recently and ended up with a burn. It's gotten a bit better, but I still have some noticeable scars and marks. I'd really appreciate any suggestions to help get rid of these.
To help reduce the appearance of skin burn marks on your face, you can consider using a cream containing silicone gel. One example is Mederma Advanced Scar Gel, which can be applied to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you may also benefit from using a cream containing vitamin E, such as Strataderm, to help improve the texture of the scarred skin. Remember to apply these creams as directed by the manufacturer for best results.

I'm dealing with this really uncomfortable situation where my pubic hair has been itching a lot lately, and I noticed something white in that area, almost like dandruff. It's getting worse, and I'm worried it might be an infection. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Any advice?
