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.

I'm really worried about this hair loss issue I've been experiencing near my ear. I tried using an anti-infection cream for around 20 days, but it didn't seem to help. I'm wondering if theres a treatment that could actually work. I've noticed some small black hairs growing in that area, but I'm not sure what that means. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help treat the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?
go for sensitive test
