I'm really struggling here. I've been dealing with multiple ringworms for about five months now, and it's been so frustrating. I was taking It mac 200, and it seemed to work at first, but as soon as I stopped, the ringworms came right back, and I've noticed my skin has gotten darker in those areas too. Is there something I can do to get rid of them for good? I'm really just looking for a permanent solution.

I've recently had a bout with scabies, and the infection spread all over my stomach and back. The good news is the infection's cleared up, but now I'm left with these dark black spots everywhere. What can I do to make them go away?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been using Cosglo gel for two months but haven't seen any results yet. Is there a specific time I should be applying it to help with dark spots, or should I be doing something else? I'm starting to worry if it's actually effective. Can you give me any advice on this?
