I'm a bit worried because I used antibiotic cream on a fungal infection rash, and it seems like the rash only got worse. So now I'm wondering, if I use antifungal cream on a rash that's not painful, and it ends up getting worse, could it mean it's another type of infection? Or can antifungal cream make any type of infection worse, kind of like how the antibiotic cream did?

I'm 18 and I've been using eukroma cream for a while now. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm worried it might make my skin turn dark or even green. What's going to happen if I quit using it?

I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She's had this white spot on her nose for about a month now. Do you think it's something I should be concerned about? Could it be a skin issue or something else?

White spot on your daughter's nose could be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks. If it does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I'm noticing a dark horizontal line on my nose and I'm not sure what's causing it. I've been using a Clean & Clear blackhead scrub, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. Could this be an allergy or something else? I've seen other people with similar lines, and I've attached a photo for reference. Any insights would be really helpful!
