I'm dealing with this really annoying itchiness on my skin and there's these small boils and every time I scratch, my skin turns black. It's so frustrating because the urge to scratch is constant. Can you recommend an ointment or something that might help?

I've been dealing with post-acne pigmentation on my cheeks, forehead, and chin, and my doctor recommended using Glambak gel. It's been about a month now, and I've noticed some reduction in dark spots and an improvement in my skin tone, which is great. But I'm a bit worried about whether I should keep using the cream long-term to maintain even skin tone. Will my skin tone go darker if I stop using it? I do use sunscreen regularly, but I'm just a bit confused about what the best approach might be. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with ringworm for a while now, and it's not showing any signs of clearing up. Can you give me some advice on what I can do to treat it effectively? I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing or doing wrong. What options do I have, and should I be concerned about this spreading to other parts of my body or to others around me?
