Question

I'm a 50-year-old guy and recently I've noticed this strange fungal skin infection on my face. Is this something rare? What's the best way to treat it? Do I need to use a cream or are oral medications necessary as well?

Question

I've been struggling with these large red acnes or allergic bumps on my forehead lately. I tried using Castor NF with ofloxacin and terbinafine clobetasol, but they haven't helped at all. The bumps are really painful to touch, and they're not just staying on my foreheadthey're spreading to other parts of my face. I'm starting to feel really frustrated as they seem to be growing more. When I use Castor NF, they shrink a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. What could be going on, and how can I get them to stop spreading?

Question

I'm thinking about using Skinlite cream for just a week, and I'm a bit worried. Can using it for only seven days cause any harm? Would love your advice.
