I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that I've had for over 4 months now. Initially, I thought it was just a rash that would disappear on its own, but it resembled ringworm and has all spread over the lower parts of my bum. The itching is unbearable. Around 2 months ago, I noticed a ringworm on my stomachit was small at first but now it's grown quite a bit and started spreading. I'm also seeing new ones popping up near my genital area. I'm really worried about this and need some guidance on what to do. I've started using Cosvate GM because a friend who had a similar issue suggested itis this safe to use for my condition?

I've been dealing with some itching on my legs and hands, especially when I'm sweating in humid weather. It turns into a burning sensation and I've noticed whiteheads and blackheads forming in those areas. The skin becomes kind of blackish but during the winter or rainy season, it tends to disappear. Lately, it's been spreading to more areas, and its way more noticeable when its hot and humid, like when Im sweating. The whiteheads are a lot, but during the rainy season, things seem to calm downthe skin just looks a bit blackish but theres no itching or whiteheads. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

I've got these lipomas all over my body, mostly on my hands and stomach. Some of them are painful while others aren't. I've talked to a local doctor who suggested surgery, but I'm wondering if there's another treatment option I should consider. Also, should I be seeing a specialist for this?
surgery is only treatment
