I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with ringworm on her butt for about two months now, and it's just not getting any better. We visited a skin doctor who gave us a prescription, but that hasn't helped at all. She's getting more and more frustrated with the constant itching, irritation, and those red rashes. What else can we do to help her find relief?

I've been using Hyervita shampoo lately and now I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can you suggest a good alternative that's kind of similar? I'm a bit worried because it worked well for me, and I don't want to switch to something that might not suit my hair.

You can try using Nizoral shampoo, which contains ketoconazole. It is effective for treating dandruff and other scalp conditions. Use it twice a week for best results.

I'm really worried because my face and neck are a lot darker than the rest of my body. I've also got these dark spots on my face, especially on both sides of my forehead, which are even darker. I recently started using a sunscreen with SPF 50, but it hasn't made any difference. I used to play outside in the sun a lot around 4 years ago, and I wonder if that's what's causing this. What can I do to fix this? I'm really looking for some advice on how to lighten these areas and get rid of the dark spots.
