I'm noticing these white spots on my hand, and they've spread more over the past week. I'm not taking any medications right now. What could this be, and should I be concerned? Is there something I can do about it?

I've noticed a bunch of tiny black dots on my lower stomach and thighs. They don't hurt or anything, but I'm just wondering what they might be? Should I be concerned, or are they nothing to worry about?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm curious about Obril Cream and its effects. Does it act as a bleaching agent on pigmentation? Also, if I use it and then go out in the sun, could it possibly lead to more tanning? What if I apply it at night and then head outside the next daywould that be okay?

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions

I've been dealing with a really persistent ringworm infection for about a year now. I've seen a few dermatologists and the treatments they gave me worked while I was taking them, but as soon as I finished the course, the infection just came right back. I've tried using ointments like Terbifine and Onabet, and more recently, Dk gel, Nailrox cream, and tablets like Itaspor and Xyzal. I even used Absorbz soap. I used everything as prescribed up to last month, but here I am again, facing the same itching and rashes. Is there any way to get rid of this permanently?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
