I'm really worried because I used Nivea roll-on and now I have a boil in my armpit. There's another one starting in the same spot, and I'm feeling a sharp pain like another one is coming on my other armpit. What's going on with me?

I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She's had this white spot on her nose for about a month now. Do you think it's something I should be concerned about? Could it be a skin issue or something else?

White spot on your daughter's nose could be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks. If it does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with hives or urticaria every other day and Ive been taking Cetcip 10mg whenever I get these rashes. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using this tablet. Is there a better way to completely cure these hives or urticaria, and what kind of medication should I really be looking at, and for how long?

Cetirizine is a commonly used antihistamine for treating hivesUrticaria. It is safe to take this tablet for relief from symptoms. However, for a more effective and long-term solution, you can consider taking a different class of antihistamines such as Allegra (Fexofenadine). Additionally, if the hivesUrticaria are severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe a short course of corticosteroids like Prednisone for a few days to help control the inflammation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with any medication.

I'm noticing more and more fungal infections popping up on my face recently. I'm really wondering if it's a good idea to add Dettol to my bath water or not. Also, should I keep using regular soap, or could that be making things worse?

I recommend using an antifungal soap containing ketoconazole or terbinafine. You can use the soap to wash your face twice a day. Additionally, you can apply an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole on the affected areas twice a day. Make sure to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
