I'm really worried because I used zalim lotion and garlic on my ringworms for just 23 days, and now I've got these brownish scars. I'm feeling really tense about it and don't even want to go outside because of how they look. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

I've got this dry, yellowish skin on my fingers, on both hands actually, and its been peeling with these painful bleeding cuts. It's been like this for the past two months and nothing seems to be helping, not even the ointments like Moisturex and Topisal that I've tried. It's really frustrating and uncomfortable.
