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.

Is melanocyte transplantation an option for treating stable vitiligo? I've had it for about 8 months now and wondering if this surgery could help
Yes, melanocyte transplantation can be an option for treating stable vitiligo, particularly in cases where other treatments have not been successful. It involves surgically transferring melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from a healthy area of skin to the depigmented areas of vitiligo. This procedure can help repigment the skin and restore color

I've been dealing with some itching on my legs and hands, especially when I'm sweating in humid weather. It turns into a burning sensation and I've noticed whiteheads and blackheads forming in those areas. The skin becomes kind of blackish but during the winter or rainy season, it tends to disappear. Lately, it's been spreading to more areas, and its way more noticeable when its hot and humid, like when Im sweating. The whiteheads are a lot, but during the rainy season, things seem to calm downthe skin just looks a bit blackish but theres no itching or whiteheads. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?
Possible Causes_ 1. *Folliculitis*: Inflammation of hair follicles, often caused by sweat and bacteria. 2. *Keratosis Pilaris*: A skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps (whiteheadsblackheads) due to keratin buildup. 3. *Hyperhidrosis*: Excessive sweating, which can contribute to skin irritation and folliculitis. _Treatment and Prevention_ 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with a gentle cleanser to prevent bacterial growth. 2. *Use a topical antibiotic cream*: To reduce inflammation and prevent infection. 3. *Exfoliate gently*: Remove dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliant. 4. *Wear breathable clothing*: Reduce sweat buildup by wearing loose, natural-fiber clothing. 5. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your skin regulate its natural moisture balance.
