I'm really concerned about my skin pigmentation. I've been using a skin shine cream for about a month now, and while it did make my skin look paler, once I stopped using it, I noticed the pigmentation came back.

I've been struggling with ringworm for a while now and it just won't clear up. I've already tried a bunch of ointments like Fourderm, Ring Guard, Itch Guard, and Dermi 5, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any recommendations for something more effective?

Topical Treatments* 1. *Terbinafine cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against ringworm. 2. *Clotrimazole cream or ointment*: Another antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. 3. *Econazole cream or ointment*: An antifungal medication that's effective against a range of fungal infections, including ringworm. *Oral Medications* 1. *Terbinafine tablets*: If the infection is severe or widespread, oral terbinafine may be prescribed. 2. *Fluconazole tablets*: Another oral antifungal medication that can help clear up the infection. *Additional Measures* 1. *Keep the affected area clean and dry*: Wash the area with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. 2. *Avoid sharing personal items*: Don't share towels, clothing, or other personal items to prevent the spread of the infection. 3. *Wear loose, breathable clothing*: Tight clothing can irritate the skin and make the infection worse.
