I'm really concerned about how quickly my skin is tanning after just 2 minutes in the sun. I'm using sunscreen, but it doesn't seem to be helping, and my face is turning black. What could be going on, and is there anything else I should try to prevent this?

Question

I recently discovered a bumpnode on my left breast just below the nipple. It was last Tuesday evening. The next day, I noticed a small dot-sized white pus mouth that gradually grew to 45 mm in diameter and ended up breaking on its own during the night on Friday while I was sleeping. Since then, I've been taking Augmentin 625 and applying Sumag twice a day. I'm kinda worried about what's going on and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if it's something serious. Can you tell me if all this sounds normal, or should I be concerned?

Question

I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection between my legs that's been bothering me for the past few months. I've tried using antifungal creams like Soframycin, Fourderm, and Betnovate N, and while they seemed to help initially, the infection always returns after a few days, especially around my private parts. Can you suggest any stronger or more effective antifungal treatments that might help clear this up for good? It's starting to really concern me.

Question

I'm curious about whether salt water can actually affect my skin color or hair. I've heard that salt in water might turn your skin black or cause grey hair. Since most underground water seems to have salt, should I be worried about any changes in my skin pigment or hair color? Is it true that salt water isn't good for the skin? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!
