I've been dealing with this fungal infection and ringworm on my stomach and neck for what feels like forever, almost 45 months. It's really bothering me, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work long-term. What could be causing it to stick around for so long, and do you have any advice on what I should try next?

View allI'm a bit concerned about the hair growth around a wound on my chin where I had a mole removed. The stitches are healing, but I'm noticing the hair from my stubble is growing in different directions, making it look all bunched up in the area near the wound. Just wondering, once the scar tissue settles, will the hair start growing normally again? Will it stop looking all bunched together?
When the scar tissue settles down, the hair growth pattern may improve. In the meantime, you can try using Minoxidil solution to promote hair growth and improve the appearance of the area. Apply Minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area for better results.

I've been having some issues with my skin ever since I got over chickenpox. Now my face is breaking out with acne and pimples everywhere. They're kinda mild, not super aggressive, but I never had any before. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing post-chickenpox acne. To help with this, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide wash like PanOxyl (benzoyl peroxide) to cleanse your face once or twice daily. Make sure to moisturize with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness. If these over-the-counter treatments do not improve your acne, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription medications.

I'm thinking about starting this new treatment and it says to apply it at night. Should I be doing this every night? Also, how often do I need to shampoo my hair? I'm wondering if it's okay to just head to work the next day without washing my hair after applying it at night. Would love some advice on how to fit this into my routine!
