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?

I've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?

I've been dealing with scabies in my underarms, and my skin has turned black because of it. This problem seems to keep coming back. What could be causing this recurring issue, and is there any way to treat the darkened skin and prevent the scabies from coming back again?
To treat scabies, you can use Permethrin cream 5%. Apply a thin layer of the cream to your entire body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. This should be repeated in 7 days. Additionally, you can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.
