I'm really worried because I read somewhere that this might be a symptom of skin cancer. Should we be looking into scheduling an appointment with a doctor about this?

Skin cancer is a serious condition that should not be ignored. If you notice any suspicious changes in your skin, it is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment options may include surgical removal, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

Question

I've been having this recurring issue with ringworm or maybe it's jock itch on my inner thighs. I first tried using clobetasol cream, then switched to dexoderm to avoid clobetasol, but I realized that dexoderm has clobetasol propionate too. It keeps giving me relief but it never really goes away completely. I recently started using ebernet cream and taking terbinafine 250 mg tablets. It's only been a week, but I think the redness is coming back and it's even spread to my glans. I dont have any itching right now, but Im worried its returning. Plus, the side effects from the tablets are a lot and I'm starting to feel some of them. Any advice on what I should do?

Question

I've got this annoying cystic acne on one of my buttocks, and it's super painful and inflamed. In the past, I've had cystic acne on my cheek and chest, and my doctor recommended Nadoxin, which worked back then. But now, using Nadoxin on this one doesn't seem to do the trick. Should I stick with Nadoxin, or do I need to try something else?

Question

I've been using this melapik cream that's based on hydroquinone. I put it on my face every night, and it's been making my skin look fairer. I'm just a bit worried, though. Are there any side effects of using this cream daily?
