I'm dealing with a ringworm problem that's been going on for 8 months and I'm really worried. I've taken terbinafine 200mg for a week, itraconazole 200mg for 2 months, and fluconazole 150mg for 2 weeks. I've also tried all sorts of ointments like Luliconazole, Halovate, and even medicated lotions and powders like terbinaforce plus and stuff like keto soap. But nothing's working long-term. The ringworm seems to stop while I'm on the meds, but it comes back once I finish them. What would you recommend, or is there something else I should be doing to get rid of this for good?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

View allI'm curious about Hijamawet cupping treatment and its effectiveness for hair loss. Can this actually help with regrowing hair that's already fallen out? I've been seeing a bunch of YouTube videos about using Hijama on the scalp for hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if there's any truth to it. Is it worth exploring further?
Hijama therapy, also known as wet cupping, involves creating suction on the skin to promote blood flow. It is commonly used for various health conditions, including treating hair loss. Hair loss can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. For hair loss treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or a trichologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. There are FDA-approved medications like minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) and finasteride (brand name Propecia) that are commonly used to treat hair loss.

I'm really worried because I've been using a cream with hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone for nearly two years. When I stopped, my face turned really dark, almost black, and its been like this for the last 67 months. The rest of my body looks normal, so it's like my face doesn't match at all. I'm just wondering if this darkness will go away on its own if I leave it alone, or am I stuck like this? I'm seriously concerned about this and need some advice.
dont use that cream not face again , and start to use regular sun screen, face wash and moitiriser and you can consult dermatologist for a chemical peel and other Rx.

I'm using minoxidil as my doctor prescribed, and I'm thinking about dyeing my hair. Do you think applying hair dye will cause any issues while I'm on minoxidil?
When using minoxidil, it's essential to exercise caution when applying hair dye: _Wait period_: Avoid applying hair dye for at least 24 hours after using minoxidil. _Patch test_: Perform a patch test with the hair dye to ensure you're not allergic to it. _Choose gentle dyes_: Opt for ammonia-free or semi-permanent hair dyes, which are less harsh. _Avoid overlapping_: Don't apply minoxidil and hair dye to the same area simultaneously.
