I'm really worried about the dark circles under my eyes; they've been there for years. I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of them. Do you know of any effective treatments? Is laser treatment a good option, or should I consider something else? I feel so frustrated with this issue and really need some advice. Can you help me out with this?

Dark circles is something that may be familial hereditary in nature and thus leading this to be a less treatable issue. However, in a lot of cases there are acquired causes - like repeated rubbing allergic condition of the eye stress anxiety depression lack of sleep etc . Its important that these issues are first addressed. You could further consider creams - but they have to be used for many months to show some visible results. Also tear trough treatment with fillers may be helpful in some cases. PRP therapy too does wonder in treating this condition.

I'm dealing with this dry and rough skin issue on my back, right around my spine. The rough patches are starting to spread out over more of my back, and it gets really itchy if I don't apply any skin cream like Fourderm. What's going on, and should I be worried about it spreading further?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been dealing with scalp folliculitis for a while now. My dermatologist said it's from a bacterial infection that can spread from the nose to the scalp. These bumps are oval and white. When I'm on medication and use cream, the folliculitis goes away after about a week. But as soon as I stop taking them, the bumps come back all over my scalp. Is there anything I can do to manage this without relying on medication all the time? I'm worried about becoming dependent on it. Any alternative remedies or methods I could try?

Sounds like you are experiencing recurrent scalp folliculitis despite completing a course of medication. In cases of persistent or recurrent folliculitis, your dermatologist may consider prescribing oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline along with a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin 2%. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to fully eradicate the bacterial infection. Wash your hair regularly with a gentle shampoo to keep the scalp clean. Avoid using oily hair products or hair styling products that can clog the hair follicles. Use a clean towel and avoid sharing combs or hair accessories to prevent the spread of bacteria. Avoid picking or scratching the bumps to prevent further irritation and infection. If the folliculitis continues to recur despite these measures, it is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
