I'm really worried because I've had ringworm near my private area for the past three months. I was using a cream on it and covering it with cotton, but it started spreading to nearby areas. The thing is, I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm really anxious because I was using the cream until yesterday. Could this have harmed my baby in any way? I'd appreciate any advice or insight you might have.

Can you recommend a good fairness cream for skin whitening that's suitable for acne-prone skin and won't break the bank? I have dry skin that gets oily in the summer. I'm using Retin-A 0.025% and azelaic acid right now. I'm hoping to improve my skin texture, and I'd really appreciate your advice!

For fairness and skin whitening cream suitable for acne-prone skin with a combination of dry and oily skin, I recommend using "Cetaphil Pro Dermacontrol Oil Absorbing Moisturizer SPF 30". This moisturizer is non-comedogenic, lightweight, and helps to control oil production while providing sun protection. Additionally, you can consider using "Kojic Acid Cream" to help lighten dark spots and enhance skin texture. Make sure to apply the moisturizer in the morning and the kojic acid cream at night for best results.
