I'm dealing with a groin infection thats really been bothering me. Ive seen two different dermatologists so far. The first one thought it was ringworm and jock itch and gave me meds like Terbinafine and some others to take for a couple of months. It got better but came back as soon as I stopped the meds. Then, I went to another doctor, who said it was a fungal infection and switched up the medications for me. Its still not completely gone. On top of that, the treatment has darkened my skin around the area, which looks really bad since my natural skin tone is quite fair. I'm stuck and worried. What should I do to properly get rid of this infection and also handle the skin darkening?

View allI've had this pimple on my cheek for a few days, and now the area around it, like an inch or so, is swollen, red, and a bit painful. Could you tell me what might be going on and any recommendations for treatment?
The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

I'm hoping to get some advice on using erytop cream for my acne. Should I be applying it in the morning or at night? Also, I'm 22 and just a bit concerned about any side effects if I use it for a long time. What's your take on that?
For acne treatment with Erytop cream, it is usually recommended to apply it at night before bedtime. Cleanse your face before applying a thin layer of Erytop cream on the affected areas. As for long term use, Erytop cream may cause side effects such as dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation of the skin. It is important to use a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day while using Erytop cream to minimize these side effects.
