I've been dealing with ringworm for about 4 years, and nothing seemed to work until someone told me to try derobin ointment. It cleared up the ringworm on my hand, so I also applied it to my neck and throat area. But now things have gotten worsemy skin is peeling and doesn't seem to be healing. I'm really worried. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have developed a reaction to the derobin ointment when applied to your neck and throat. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected areas with mild soap and water. You can apply a soothing and healing ointment like Silverex cream to help with the healing process. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine can help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about a mole on my forehead near my eyebrows. It's been inflamed, and there's a red area around it. I've noticed pus coming out, and even though I've squeezed it a couple of times, the pus just keeps coming back. I've tried using tea tree oil and medications like nicotinamide and clindamycin, but nothing seems to be helping. Could there be a chance it's something serious, possibly cancerous?

I'm really struggling with an issue that's been bothering me for the last six months. I've got this persistent itch in the area below my buttocks, and I've tried using Dermiford cream and Btex, but nothing seems to work. The itch just keeps coming back. I even tried a home remedy with tulsi leaves, but that didn't help either. Could you please offer me some guidance on what to do?
Try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for about six months and have noticed I've lost almost 40% of my hair density. The hair loss stopped when I started treating the seborrhea, so I'm pretty sure that's what's behind it. My symptoms were mostly just bad dandruff, no itching or redness. Do you think my hair will grow back?
