I'm struggling with some pimples and the dark marks they leave on my face. I'm really looking for advice on how to deal with them and prevent more from popping up. What can I do to tackle this issue?

To treat pimples and dark marks on your face, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a benzoyl peroxide gel (such as Oxy-5) for the pimples. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once or twice daily. For the dark marks, you can use a topical retinoid cream (such as Retin-A) to help fade the discoloration. Apply a pea-sized amount on the dark marks at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can help prevent further darkening of the marks.

I've been dealing with a ringworm for a couple of years now, and it just doesn't seem to go away no matter how many doctors I see. I'm starting to feel a bit desperate. What could be going wrong, and how should I approach getting rid of it for good?

Despite being diagnosed and treated by multiple doctors, your persistent ringworm infection over the past two years suggests that the underlying cause might not have been fully addressed; consider consulting a dermatologist for a re-evaluation, as they may recommend additional tests, such as a skin scraping or biopsy, to confirm the diagnosis and identify any underlying conditions, such as a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection, and provide targeted treatment, which may include antifungal medications, creams, or ointments.

I've been dealing with this really annoying itchiness around my hip area that seems just like a fungal infection. It's been going on for about 2 to 3 years now. Could you recommend a cream that might help?
