I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with these small, white, hard bumps on my scalp for about a year and a half now. They're super itchy, and it's causing a lot of hair loss, which is really worrying me. At first, I thought it might be dandruff, but there's nothing flaky about it. I'm constantly scratching my scalp, and it's getting really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

Just the other day, I noticed I have some ringworm on my thighs too. I'm really frustrated and worried about why these things keep happening. What can I do to stop this once and for all?

I've had these white bumps on my skin and hands for months, and now they're showing up on my face too. No matter what I do, they just don't go away. Even if I scratch them off with my nails, they seem to always come back. What's going on, and how can I get rid of them for good?
Could be a sign of a skin condition called Molluscum Contagiosum. This is a viral infection that can spread through direct skin contact. I recommend using a topical treatment like Retin-A (tretinoin) cream to help treat the bumps. Apply a thin layer of Retin-A cream on the affected areas once daily at bedtime. It may take a few weeks to see improvement, so be patient with the treatment. Additionally, avoid scratching or picking at the bumps to prevent further spread of the infection. Keep the affected areas clean and dry to promote healing. If the condition persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
