I'm really stressed out because I've had this fungal infection on my inner thigh for a whole year now. I went to a skin specialist and followed the treatment they gave me, and it seemed to clear up. But out of nowhere, it's back again and even spreading. I'm really worried about it getting worse. Can you recommend a specialist or suggest a more effective treatment?

I've had these white spots for about 6 years now. Some people have mentioned it might be vitiligo. Is there any way to cure it? The patches are mostly between my inner thighs and around my mouth. Can you help me understand what this could be?

I've got this dry, yellowish skin on my fingers, on both hands actually, and its been peeling with these painful bleeding cuts. It's been like this for the past two months and nothing seems to be helping, not even the ointments like Moisturex and Topisal that I've tried. It's really frustrating and uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and suggest what I can do about it?
