Question 1

I'm a 50-year-old guy and recently I've noticed this strange fungal skin infection on my face. Is this something rare? What's the best way to treat it? Do I need to use a cream or are oral medications necessary as well?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I've developed this red rash and some small bumps on my arm after donating plasma yesterday. Now its starting to spread to my face and ears, possibly because I've been touching it. The bumps look like little pimples, and theyre just in one area. They're not leaking or anything though. Could this be a reaction to iodine or nickel? Should I try using creams or is it better to see a doctor? I don't have health insurance, so I'm hoping to avoid unnecessary visits.
