I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my hips for the past two years, and it's getting unbearable. It hurts a lot and the itching is intense, sometimes even causing bleeding when I itch. I've been treating it for two years, but the moment I stop the medication, it comes back. I can't even get a good night's sleep because of it. Can you please help me figure out what to do?

View allI'm a 32-year-old female with medium fair skin, and I've been wondering about sunlight exposure since I've been spending much more time indoors because of the pandemic. If I'm planning to take a walk outside to get some sunlight, when is the best time of day to do this, and when should I avoid it? Also, how much time should I spend in the sun each week or day, while wearing regular clothes, to make sure I'm getting enough Vitamin D?
For vitamin D production and minimizing skin damage, aim for short periods of sun exposure, specifically between 10am-4pm, with peak hours being 10am-11am and 3pm-4pm, and limit daily exposure to 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week, with regular clothes on, while avoiding prolonged exposure during peak hours, especially for fair skin,

I'm really worried about this stitch mark on my face. I can't afford laser treatment right now. Are there any other options I can try to help get rid of these marks?
Removing stitch marks can be challenging, but there are some affordable alternatives to laser treatment. *Topical Treatments* 1. *Silicone Gel or Sheets*: Apply silicone-based products to the affected area to help flatten and soften the scar tissue. 2. *Cocoa Butter or Coconut Oil*: Massage these oils into the scar tissue to promote collagen production and improve skin texture. 3. *Vitamin E Oil*: Apply vitamin E oil to the affected area to promote skin healing and reduce the appearance of scars. *Home Remedies* 1. *Aloe Vera*: Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing the appearance of scars. 2. *Tea Tree Oil*: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area to promote skin healing. 3. *Turmeric*: Turmeric contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce the appearance of scars. *Medical Treatments* 1. *Chemical Peels*: A dermatologist can perform a chemical peel to help remove the top layers of skin and reduce the appearance of scars. 2. *Microdermabrasion*: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars. 3. *Steroid Injections*: A dermatologist can inject steroids into the scar tissue to help reduce inflammation and flatten the scar.

I've been having some issues ever since I quit smoking cigarettes back in June. I tried putting a cigarette to my mouth a few days without actually smoking, and my lips burned really badly. Ever since then, they've been swelling on and off. I also started vaping around the same time. Now my lips are swollen, itchy, and they look kind of bruised. Do you think this could be related to quitting smoking or starting vaping? What should I do?
That needs evaluation visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
