I'm having this issue where my skin has been looking really dry for about a year now, and I've noticed these black dots, but they're not on my face, just the rest of my body. It sometimes feels itchy, probably because of the temperature or something. I'm starting to get worried and I'm thinking about getting some treatment for it. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

I've been dealing with this fungal skin issue on my butt crack, and it's really bothering me. I'm using terbinafin cream, but I'm wondering if there's another ointment I should try. Do you think taking tablets would help as well? I'd appreciate any advice you might have.

For fungal skin conditions like the one you have described, in addition to terbinafine cream, you can also apply clotrimazole cream twice a day to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth. As for oral tablets, you can consider taking fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks, but it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any oral antifungal medication. Make sure to wear loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing to promote air circulation.

I'm having a lot of headaches, and there are these tiny acne-like bumps on my head that hurt a lot, especially at the back. Every time I touch them, they're really painful. I'm just not sure what's going on. Any idea what this could be?

there is no relation between headache and acne only if its herpes ,your complaints seem like regular acne and migraine, visit your doctor for appropriate treatment .
