I'm worried about my mom's ringworm fungal infection and she's been using Dermotraid cream for it. I'm wondering, is that really the best option for treating this condition, or should she be looking at other creams?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm currently using CLINADD AP GEL for my skin. Is it okay to apply any other cream on my face at the same time? Also, I'm wondering if I can still use soap while bathing?

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable issue with my right breast. The skin on my areola is peeling and it's constantly sticking to my bra. When I take my bra off, the skin comes off too and it's quite painful. I had eczema a few years back with similar symptoms but that cleared up with aloe vera after about two months. This time it seems worse and isn't as itchy, just sometimes. It's sore and a bit reddish. I'm worried and wondering if it's possible to be dealing with something serious like cancer at my age. It's really freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.

I've noticed that my dad has had this wart under his right armpit for quite a while now, maybe a few years. It doesn't bother him since it's not painful, red, or itchy. But the other day, he found another wart under his left armpit. This one hurts when he touches it, although it isn't red or itchy, and there's no pus. Could these warts be a sign of something more serious? Do you think he needs to get it checked out soon?
