I'm dealing with these really uncomfortable thigh rashes, and someone suggested I try using a cream called DEROBIN. However, after applying it, I've noticed the areas have become itchy, swollen, and theres a red, hard circle forming. I'm a bit concerned about whether this is a normal reaction or if I should stop using it immediately. Could this be an allergic reaction, or do you think there might be another underlying cause?

The cream DEROBIN is a combination medication that contains Beclomethasone and Clotrimazole. It is used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and fungal infections. In your case, for thigh rashes with itching, swelling, and red hard circles, you can apply DEROBIN cream thinly on the affected areas twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to clean and dry the area before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've had white patches on my skin for about 10 years now and they're stable, not spreading. Thinking about getting surgery to treat them but worried if it'll leave scars on my face or the treated areas. Should I go for surgery or stick with medicines for better results?

I'm noticing these white patches on my face for the first time, and I'm not sure what's causing them. I talked to a local doctor, but it didn't really help. Can you give me some guidance on what might be going on or what I should do next? I'm starting to get a little worried.
