I'm dealing with this annoying ringworm for the past two months and it's just getting worse. It's super irritating. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of it?

I'm having these irritated sores or bumps, kind of like cysts, near my anus and in the butt crack. They've been there for a week, hurt, sometimes itch, and they release pus. They started as white pimple-like bumps. It gets worse when I sit or if urine gets on them. I noticed them after I shaved and wore dry pads that ended up rubbing against that area a couple of days after shaving. Could this be some kind of diaper rash or something more serious?

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 dealing with ringworms and it's really itchy and annoying. It goes away for a bit but then comes back. What should I do? I've tried using excel m but it's not helping much.

Ringworm can be frustrating and uncomfortable. Understanding Ringworm Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis, is a fungal infection that affects the skin. It's highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surface. Why Ringworm Keeps Coming Back The recurrence of ringworm can be due to several factors: 1. Incomplete treatment: If the treatment is not completed or is not effective, the fungus may not be fully eliminated, leading to recurrence. 2. Contaminated environment: If the environment is not properly cleaned and disinfected, the fungus can survive and re-infect you. 3. Weakened immune system: A weakened immune system can make you more susceptible to fungal infections, including ringworm. 4. Skin-to-skin contact: Direct contact with an infected person or animal can spread the infection.
