I have a fungal infection that's spreading from my feet to my hands and even my elbow. It's getting worse daily, and I'm really worried. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?

It sounds like you may have a fungal infection that is spreading. To treat this, you can use an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream. Apply the cream twice a day on the affected areas, including the feet, hands, and elbows. Make sure to keep the areas clean and dry before applying the cream. If the infection does not improve or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really concerned about my underarm situation. Since I stopped waxing, there's been a little improvement in the darkness, but I'm not sure what to do next. Should I consider chemical peels or laser treatments for the best results? Hydroquinone didn't work for me. I'm just worried because my dermatologist suggested chemical peels but didnt do any tests beforehand. Can peels make the darkness worse?

chemical peeling would definitely work but laser treatment would show better result,follow your doctors advise because treatment modality depends on intensity and area involved for darkness.
