I'm a bit worried because I accidentally poked myself on the face with the sharp end of a blackhead extractor, which felt a lot like a sewing needle. After that, about 12 drops of blood came out. The extractor was new and all I did was rinse it with water before using it. Should I be concerned about getting an infection or any kind of disease from this?

Yes take tetanus shot and get your wound cleaned properly for good healing.

I'm dealing with these rashes in my armpits and groin area for the past 45 months or so. I've tried everything from fourderm to quadriderm creams to feel better. Just recently, I put on ring guard and an hour later, it started burning. My doctor mentioned using lulibet, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any idea what's going on or what might actually help?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection in your armpits and groin area. Lulibet cream contains the active ingredients luliconazole, which is used to treat fungal infections of the skin. You can apply a thin layer of lulibet cream on the affected areas once daily for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to wash and dry the affected areas before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with an issue on my face and underarms for about a year now. I've tried using luliconazole and ketoconazole ointments, and even took oral tablets like onecan and itraconazole, but nothing seems to fully solve the problem. The ketoconazole ointment seems to control it for a bit, but then it just comes back. Can you please help me figure out what's going on?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
