I'm really concerned about some black spots that have appeared on my left foot. It started with just a small spot, but it's been gradually getting bigger over the last year. I'm not sure what's going on and I'm starting to worry. What could this be, and should I be worried about it spreading or getting worse?

View allI'm dealing with ringworms and it's really itchy and annoying. It goes away for a bit but then comes back. What should I do? I've tried using excel m but it's not helping much.
Ringworm can be frustrating and uncomfortable. Understanding Ringworm Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis, is a fungal infection that affects the skin. It's highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surface. Why Ringworm Keeps Coming Back The recurrence of ringworm can be due to several factors: 1. Incomplete treatment: If the treatment is not completed or is not effective, the fungus may not be fully eliminated, leading to recurrence. 2. Contaminated environment: If the environment is not properly cleaned and disinfected, the fungus can survive and re-infect you. 3. Weakened immune system: A weakened immune system can make you more susceptible to fungal infections, including ringworm. 4. Skin-to-skin contact: Direct contact with an infected person or animal can spread the infection.

I'm a 21-year-old girl and last November and December, I suffered from typhoid. Since I started recovering fully in January, Ive noticed that my hair is falling out a lot. I used to have long, thick hair, but now its really thinning, and I can even see bald spots. I'm worried and I really dont want to shave my head. How long can I expect it to take for my hair to grow back to normal, and is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Will not shaving be a problem?
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been using Veet hair removal cream on my thighs and hips area. After about 8-10 days, I've started noticing an allergic reaction around my hips. I'm worried about it and I'm wondering what would be the best advice or treatment for this? I've also got a picture of the affected area if that helps.
That could be allergic reaction and requires physical examination ,visit dermatologist for the same
