I've been dealing with this issue for almost 10 months now. I've tried several over-the-counter antifungal creams, and they seem to cure the problem temporarily, but the infection comes back after a few weeks. I've also taken oral antifungal medication. What could be causing this recurring problem, and what should I do next to finally get rid of it?

View allI've developed this red rash and some small bumps on my arm after donating plasma yesterday. Now its starting to spread to my face and ears, possibly because I've been touching it. The bumps look like little pimples, and theyre just in one area. They're not leaking or anything though. Could this be a reaction to iodine or nickel? Should I try using creams or is it better to see a doctor? I don't have health insurance, so I'm hoping to avoid unnecessary visits.

Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help regulate hormones and reduce stress. Skincare Routine 1. Cleanse your skin: Wash your face twice a day with a gentle, oil-free cleanser. 2. Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. 3. Use a toner: Apply a toner to help balance your skin's pH and reduce oil production. 4. Apply a moisturizer: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores.

I'm 27 and from Tamilnadu. A while back, I accidentally had kerosene poured on me, and since then, my face has been getting darker day by day. I'm really worried about how to get back to my previous skin tone. What can I do to improve my skin?
Accidentally spilling kerosene on your face can cause skin damage and discoloration. To help restore your skin tone, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
