I'm really worried about this rash I've been dealing with. It started around my panty line and under my bust. I used a skin cream that my doctor recommended, and it seemed to help, but then the rash came back. Now my skin looks like it's healing from a burn. It's been going on for three months now. What should I do?

Since you have been suffering for 3 months, it is important to consider a different approach. This sounds like a case of fungal infection, possibly a persistent one. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, taking oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks can also help clear the infection completely. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to aid in the healing process.

View allI've just received my biopsy results, and it's mentioned that there's a hypocellular spindle lesion in a myxocollagenous stroma with a lot of blood vessels and hemosiderin pigment. The report also notes a low-grade spindle cell neoplasm and mentions something about an angiofibroma. I'm trying to wrap my head around this; should I be concerned about these findings? Would you recommend any specific follow-up or treatment based on these results?

I'm using Liv.52 DS and was wondering, how long will it take before I see improvements in my skin, like fewer pimples and other related issues?
Liv.52 DS, an Ayurvedic formulation, may help alleviate liver-related skin issues, but its effectiveness and timeline for clearing pimples and other skin diseases vary depending on individual skin types, underlying conditions, and overall health; while some users report improvements within 2-6 weeks, others may take 3-6 months or more to notice significant changes, so be patient and consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
