Question

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.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been using Minoz OD 100 for quite a while to deal with my acne breakouts. It seems to help, but now I'm considering stopping it. Is it okay to do that, or should I be cautious about anything?

Question

I've been experiencing some itching in between my fingers on both my hands and feet, but there aren't any red dots or rashes there. It's a bit concerning, and I'm not really sure what's causing it. Could there be a reason for this itching even without visible signs like rashes?

Question

I'm African American and I've noticed my skin used to be much lighter, but over the past six years, it's gotten so dark that I can barely see myself at night. I spend most of my time indoors and rarely go out. I've tried skin bleaching products before, and they worked, but once I stop using them, my skin becomes darker again. Do you have any suggestions for lotions or treatments I could try to help with this?
