I'm really worried about these chicken pox scars on my face. They just won't go away, and I'm feeling so self-conscious about it. Can you suggest any treatments or remedies that might help get rid of them? I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. Would love to hear your advice.

I'm dealing with a ringworm problem that's been going on for 8 months and I'm really worried. I've taken terbinafine 200mg for a week, itraconazole 200mg for 2 months, and fluconazole 150mg for 2 weeks. I've also tried all sorts of ointments like Luliconazole, Halovate, and even medicated lotions and powders like terbinaforce plus and stuff like keto soap. But nothing's working long-term. The ringworm seems to stop while I'm on the meds, but it comes back once I finish them. What would you recommend, or is there something else I should be doing to get rid of this for good?

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

I recently noticed a new mole on the inside of my thigh and I'm kind of worried. It's not flat and has an irregular shape, plus one side is darker than the other. Should I be concerned even though it doesn't seem to be getting any bigger?
