I'm dealing with this stubborn ringworm issue for about 6 months now. It seems like whenever it fades a bit, it just flares back up again. I've tried ointments and tablets but haven't seen any real improvement. What else should I be doing? Any advice would be appreciated because I'm really getting frustrated with this.

I just found two small blood blisters close to each other on my hand. I've been out in the garden, so I'm wondering if it might be some kind of bite. I didn't feel any pain when it happened and wasn't wearing a glove on that hand. Should I be worried about this?

I'm a 25-year-old woman dealing with sunburns, and I was prescribed kojivit cream, but it's causing some skin irritation. Could you recommend any other options for treating sunburns?
