I'm having a bit of a tough time with ringworms right now. I used Allegra 120 mg and Terbinaforce tablets before, and it seemed to help, but I'm noticing they're coming back on my crotch area, hips, back, waist, and thighs. It starts as a small dot and then grows larger. Any idea why this might be happening again, and what else I can do to stop it from spreading?

I have two sebaceous cysts on my face and I'm not sure what to do about them. What are the treatment options available, and if surgery is needed, how much would it cost? I'm a bit worried about scarring or complications.

Sebaceous cyst treatment options range from observation to surgical removal, depending on the cyst's size, location, and whether it's causing pain or inflammation. Surgical removal, if needed, can be done through various techniques, with costs varying. Scarring and potential complications should be discussed with your doctor.

I've been feeling really itchy under my breasts and in my groin area, especially since winter started here in Pune. It's getting pretty uncomfortable. The skin has turned this odd dark brown color, and it's kind of awful now that its even up to my cleavage. I'm wondering if there's some home remedy I could try to sort this out, or should I be talking to a specialist about this?

This could be a fungal infection, such as Tinea corporis (ringworm), which commonly affects these areas due to warm and moist conditions. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Keep the areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothes to allow the skin to breathe. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite home remedies, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
