I'm really worried because I've been using indigo powder to color my hair, and it's left me with black spots on my face from my cheeks to my ears. At first, it was red and burning, and then it turned black. I saw a doctor who gave me Biluma and Physiogel to apply, but the spots still haven't gone away. What else can I do to get rid of these spots? I'm feeling kinda stuck and would really appreciate some advice.

I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?

It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.
