I'm having a skin issue on my thigh and it seems like it might be a ringworm. I've tried using antifungal cream and candid gold dusting powder, but it keeps coming back and spreading. What should I do to get rid of it for good?

-I'd recommend seeing a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get a stronger prescription antifungal treatment. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry to help prevent it from spreading.

I'm really curious about something. When I work out, I tend to sweat a lot from my entire body, but there are parts of my face, like my cheeks, nose, and chin, where I don't sweat at all. Meanwhile, my forehead is always drenched. Should I be worried that not sweating in those areas might be a sign of a bigger problem? Does not sweating mean I'll have a harder time losing fat from those specific spots? I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to start sweating there, or if it's even necessary for fat loss in those areas. What do you think?
