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.

I'm really struggling with dark circles under my eyes and would love some advice on what treatments might actually work. Are there any specific things I should try applying? Any suggestions to help reduce them would be great.
Dark circles can be caused by various factors such as lack of sleep, stress, allergies, or genetics. To help reduce dark circles, you can try using an eye cream containing Vitamin C and Vitamin K. I recommend using "Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream" twice a day, in the morning and evening. Additionally, make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep, stay hydrated, and manage your stress levels to help improve the appearance of dark circles.
