I'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. I initially thought it was just dandruff, but it has definitely gotten worse lately. I'm really not sure of the best way to treat it, and I could use some guidance on where to start. Any advice on how to handle this would be much appreciated.

I've got this ringworm on my face, and even though Ive been using cloben g as my doctor friend suggested, it went away initially but came back bigger in the same spot. Is there something oral I can take to get rid of this fungus for good? I'm really worried it might keep spreading. What should I do?

Yes when its recurring you have to take oral anti fungal medication like ITRACONAZOLE,visit your Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've noticed a lump near my butt, and it really hurts when I touch it, and sometimes even when I don't. It's been there for a year, and now it feels like it's spreading from one lump to two. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

IT MAY BE EXTERNAL PILLS. TABLET SIGMOFLAM TWO-TIMES A DAY AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER FOR FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS. LOCALLY APPLY XYLOCAIN GEL NEAR ANAL OPINING THAN INSIDE ANUS PROPERLY ALL AROUND BEFORE PASSING STOOL. AFTER DEFICATION AND WASH APPLY OINTMENT PROCTOCEDIL AS MENTIONED ABOVE PROPERLY. TILL SYMPTOMS DECREASE. CONSULT A GENERAL SURGEON.
