I've been dealing with eczema for about a year now, and I'm using Sorifix Ointment like my doctor suggested, but it's weird because the symptoms keep fluctuating. It gets better, then worse. Is this normal? What else can I do to manage it more consistently?

I'm looking for alternatives to skin lightening creams that won't thin my facial skin or cause any redness. I want to steer clear of products containing steroids. Can you suggest any options that are safe and effective?

An alternative cream that does not contain steroids and is gentler on the skin is "Kojivit Plus Gel". It contains kojic acid, arbutin, and vitamin C which help in skin lightening without thinning the skin or causing redness. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit Plus Gel on the affected areas of the face once at night.

My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

yes skin tuberculosis is curable

I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like ants are biting me all over my body, especially when I start working out or if I'm standing in the sunlight. My skin starts releasing this white, hair-thin substance from the pores, turns reddish, and it's almost unbearable for me to be in the sun or exercise in the winter. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
