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.

I've been dealing with a case of Acute Paronychia and it seems like it's getting better. The swelling's gone down, and I managed to squeeze out a lot of pus and discharge from the abscess, which I think cleared it out. But I'm not entirely sure, 'cause some odd things are leaving me questioning. Like, I peeled off some dry skin around the swelling area and noticed there's still a bit of a bump. Should I be worried, or is this normal during recovery?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.
