I'm really concerned about psoriasis. Is this medicine something that's actually used to treat it? I'm hoping to find out if it helps manage or cure psoriasis because I've been struggling with it for a while.

I'm really frustrated because I've got a ton of ringworms all over my body. I've already tried so many creams like sapat lotion, KT5, dermring guard, panderm, triben, and itch guard, but nothing has helped. It's driving me insane because I can't stop itching the whole day. I'm desperately looking for an immediate home treatment for this. What can I do to finally get rid of them?

For immediate relief, you can try using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) can help clear up the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.

I'm noticing that my skin color is getting darker all over my body, and it's not just from tanning since even the normally lighter areas are turning darker too. Any ideas on what's going on?

I've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?

That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion
