I'm currently being treated for shingles, and I'm just trying to figure out how serious it is. Is there a quick way to get better, like with an injection or something? And once it clears up, will there be any marks left on my skin?

View allI've been dealing with a boil on my buttock, and after finishing a 5-day course of antibiotics yesterday, it developed a white head today. When I did a warm compression, it released some pus and then blood. I cleaned it up and covered it with cotton, but an hour later, I noticed blood on the cotton. I washed it again, but the bleeding didn't stop. What should I do?
The boil on your buttock has likely come to a head, released pus and blood, and is now in the process of healing; however, given the continued bleeding, it's essential to monitor the wound closely, keep it clean, and apply antibiotic ointment to promote healing and prevent infection; if the bleeding persists, increases, or is accompanied by increased pain, redness, or swelling, seek medical attention from a healthcare professional or a dermatologist for further evaluation and guidance.

I've just gotten over a bout of chickenpox and it seems like I'm all cured now after about 15 days. I'm wondering how long I should wait before it's safe to have sex with my wife. What do you think?
yes you can do because Chickenpox is contagious for one to two days before the appearance of the rash and until the blisters have dried and become scabs.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this ringworm issue near my vaginal area. It's getting worse every day with itching, inflammation, a red patch, and dark skin. I've tried using lechensa cream, but it's not helping at all. Can you suggest some cream or treatment that will actually work? I've never had skin problems like this before, and it's really frustrating and upsetting. What should I do?
