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've got some small white patches on my neck and chest. I've been using TBIS 0.1 and trimop forte, and it's helped stop them from spreading. But now I'm wondering what I should use for the depigmentation. Any advice on this would be great!

For depigmentation of the white patches on your neck and chest, you can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily for a few weeks. Additionally, you can also consider using a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 4% to help even out the skin tone. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation changes.

I've been using Erytop lotion for my acne, and recently I've noticed a red swelling on my face. I'm 26 years old and kind of worried about it. Do you think it's a reaction to the lotion, or could it be something else? What should my next steps be?

Stop using the medication, u can use kojiglo cream for local application for 7 days, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
