I have a red rash all over my back and shoulders. They're super itchy and some are pretty painful. I've been trying Dermi Cool powder, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you help me out with this?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

View allI've been using Skinlite for the last 4 years and I'm really worried about stopping it because I don't want my skin to darken. Plus, I'm noticing some damage to my skin. Could you suggest an alternative to Skinlite that won't cause any darkening or further harm?
Skinlite is a topical steroid cream. Prolonged use can lead to skin damage, thinning, and darkening. To minimize the risk of darkening, it's essential to gradually taper off the cream and transition to alternative treatments. *Gradual Tapering* 1. *Reduce frequency*: Gradually reduce the frequency of applying Skinlite over 2-4 weeks. 2. *Decrease concentration*: If possible, switch to a lower concentration of hydroquinone (2% instead of 4%) or a different formulation. 3. *Alternate with moisturizer*: Apply a moisturizer on alternate days or nights to help your skin adjust. *Alternative Treatments* 1. *Kojic acid creams*: Kojic acid is a natural alternative to hydroquinone, which can help reduce melanin production. 2. *Niacinamide creams*: Niacinamide has been shown to improve skin hyperpigmentation and brightness. 3. *Vitamin C serums*: Vitamin C can help brighten and even out skin tone. 4. *Azelaic acid creams*: Azelaic acid has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). 5. *Natural ingredients*: Consider using natural ingredients like turmeric, aloe vera, or licorice extract, which have anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties. *Sun Protection* 1. *Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen*: Apply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. 2. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear clothing that covers your skin, such as long-sleeved shirts and pants
