I've been dealing with genital ringworm and initially, it was incredibly itchy. After seeing a doctor and getting the right medication, the itchiness has eased up. But I'm really worried about the scars that are still there. It's been three months, and they just don't seem to be going away. What can I do to help clear these scars up?

To help clear the scars left from genital ringworm, you can use a topical antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area. In addition, you can also apply a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 4% once daily to help fade the scars. Make sure to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin. If the scars persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've got these dark spots on my knuckles, joints, and fingers, both on my hands and legs, even on the palm area. I'm wondering what could be causing this and how I might be able to treat it. I've also got a history of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Could this be connected somehow? What steps can I take to lighten or get rid of these dark spots?

I've noticed my metal nametag at work is rusting and it's started to give me a rash that really burns. I'm starting to worry about getting the tetanus virus from this rash. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm trying to figure out what's more effective, the proanagen solution or the tablet. I've been using the solution for over a month now, but honestly, it's starting to feel a bit tedious. Does one have a quicker or better result than the other? Would love to know your thoughts on this.
Both are equally effective. And also it depends on the grade of hair loss.
