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?

I've recently had a bout with scabies, and the infection spread all over my stomach and back. The good news is the infection's cleared up, but now I'm left with these dark black spots everywhere. What can I do to make them go away?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm really worried because my face has gotten darker since I delivered my baby. The doctor once mentioned that it might be due to the folic acid tablets I was taking. But now it's been over three years, and my face keeps getting darker while the rest of my body remains the same as before I gave birth. There's such a noticeable difference between my face and body color, and it's really concerning me. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I might be able to do about this?
Post delivery hyperpigmentation is very common and the treatment is a gradual process rather than overnight change. Use Sun protection like sunscreen with spf 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight.Use skin lightening creams containing vitamin C , Niacinamide , Azelaic acid etc.There are so many different treatment options available like chemical peels, laser treatments etc.Consult a dermatologist and go through proper treatment while maintaining a healthy lifestyle you can get rid of this hyperpigmentation completely .
