I'm really struggling with these black spots on my legs and hands, and after taking a bath my skin starts itching and I get rashes that eventually turn into black spots. My face is also affectedthere are small holes and black marks, and since I have a darker complexion, they stand out and look terrible. It's tough because people make fun of me for it. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

I'm really concerned because I have this red rash on my side, right above my waist. It started off small but has grown bigger. When I looked into it, the symptoms kind of match hives, but it also looks like ringworm. The weird part is that it doesnt really itch. Could this be something serious or is it just a rash that will go away on its own? What should I do about it?

That could be P.versicolor infection,maintain personal hygiene,visit dermatologist for appropriate management.
