I'm noticing some black spots on my face and a doctor recommended I try using dermiford cream. I'm really curious if this is the right thing to do for my skin. Do you think it's okay to use it?

I'm noticing this ring-like red spot on my face and it sort of reminds me of ringworm. I've started using Lobate GM cream for it. Is this the right treatment to go for, or should I be doing something different? Im a bit worried about whether I'm using the right stuff for this.

A ring red spot or rash on your face resembling ringworm may require antifungal treatment. However, Lobate GM is not appropriate for ringworm as it contains a combination of a steroid (betamethasone) and two other ingredients. Instead, you should use an antifungal cream like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) or Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin). Apply the antifungal cream twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. If the rash persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
