I've been dealing with ringworm for about six months and haven't had any luck with the creams I've tried. Someone suggested I try Derobin cream, so I used a lot of it for around 11 hours. Now my skin is burnt and really red, especially on my thighs, penis, and testicles. It's really painful and I'm worried. Can you recommend any creams or medicine to help fix this issue?

View allI've been dealing with these ringworms for a year now, and they're on both sides of my butt. It's really frustrating because nothing seems to help. The itching just won't stop, but normally I try not to scratch and use a dryer to calm it a bit. What else can I do to finally get some relief?
That could be Fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've noticed that the hairs on my eyebrows and upper lip are starting to turn white. I've been dealing with grey hair for the past 34 years, and it just seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Is there any way to stop my eyebrow hairs from going white too?
Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. You can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.

I'm really worried about what's called Schamberg disease and Im trying to figure out if theres a way to treat it at home. What kind of home treatments are out there? Can it actually be managed without seeing a doctor, or is professional help necessary?
Schamberg disease, also known as progressive pigmented purpuric dermatosis, is a rare skin condition characterized by the appearance of reddish-brown spots or patches on the skin. Treatment Options: While there is no cure for Schamberg disease, various treatments can help manage its symptoms. Here are some conventional treatment options: 1. Topical corticosteroids: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams, ointments, or lotions can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy, can help reduce symptoms. 3. Immunosuppressive medications: In severe cases, medications like pentoxifylline or colchicine may be prescribed to suppress the immune system's response. Home Treatment and Self-Care: While medical treatments are essential, there are some home remedies and self-care measures that can help alleviate symptoms: 1. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help reduce itching and inflammation. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers. 2. Avoid irritants: Steer clear of harsh soaps, detergents, or other products that can irritate the skin. 3. Protect from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and protective clothing to prevent further skin damage. 4. Cool compresses: Applying cool, wet compresses to the affected areas can help reduce itching and inflammation. 5. Elevate affected areas: If the affected areas are on your legs or arms, elevate them to reduce swelling.
