Question

I'm dealing with molluscum contagiosum and tried using Retino A ointment, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm really not keen on having surgery to remove them. Is there any other treatment option that could help get rid of molluscum?

Question

I've had this jock itch issue for quite some time now. I got some fungal cream from my doctor which helped for a while, but it just keeps coming back. Lately, with all the work I've been doing, it's gotten worse and now it's on my buttocks too. Today, I found a painful bump in my groin area about the size of a nickel, and pus started coming out. I looked it up and it seems like it's a boil. I'm really worried and just want to get rid of the jock itch and this boil. What should I do?

Question

I've been told to use biluma advanced skin lightening lotion and Demelan screen for the dark spots on my forehead from acne. I'm really concerned because I can't use anything with steroids in it. Do these products contain steroids? My forehead got darker after I used the deriva cms gel for a couple of months, and it didn't help with my acne. Lately, I've switched to aziderm for the acne, and it's been about two weeks. Does this sound okay to you?
