I've been dealing with ringworm and it's really stubborn. Plus, there's this annoying dinaay and khujli that's just driving me up the wall! Can you recommend the best medicine or ointment to help clear this up? I'm really hoping to find something effective because it's becoming a real hassle.

You can use Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) tablets 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can apply Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry to help with the healing process.

View allI've got these lumps under my skin, which I've learned are called lipomas. They're not painful, but I'm curious if there's any treatment or medication out there that could get rid of them. The doctors Ive spoken to say they're harmless and don't require medicine, but I'm still a bit concerned. Could you give me some advice on this?
While there's no oral medication to cure lipoma, treatment options like steroid injections, liposuction, or surgical removal can be considered

I've noticed that I've developed quite a few til on my face, and they seem to be increasing. I'm also seeing them appear on my neck and hands. What can I do to stop them from spreading and how do I get rid of them?
Excessive oil production on your face is often due to overactive sebaceous glands. While you cant completely stop oil production (and you shouldnt, as some oil is necessary for healthy skin), you can manage it effectively with the following steps: Cleanse properly, hydrate your skin, control shine during the day by carrying tissues to absorb the excess oil without disturbing makeup, adjust your diet, avoid heavy makeup, exfoliate weekly , use specialised treatments, manage stress.

I'm really worried about the effects of pollution on my skin. I've been noticing that my skin is darkening really fast, and I'm thinking about using salon detan and bleach treatments to help with it. Are these treatments actually effective, or could they potentially be harmful to my skin in the long run? I'm looking for some advice on what might be the best way to handle this issue.
Detan and bleach treatments are popular salon services aimed at reducing skin darkening and hyperpigmentation. However, it's essential to weigh their effectiveness against potential risks. Detan Treatment Detan treatments typically involve a combination of exfoliating agents, like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and brightening agents, such as vitamin C or licorice extract. These treatments can help: 1. Exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. 2. Reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots. 3. Improve skin texture and tone. However, detan treatments may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin. Potential side effects include: 1. Skin irritation or redness 2. Dryness or flakiness 3. Increased sun sensitivity Bleach Treatment Bleach treatments, on the other hand, involve the application of a strong chemical agent to lighten the skin. These treatments can be harsh and may lead to: 1. Skin irritation, redness, or burns 2. Dryness, flakiness, or skin cracking 3. Increased risk of infections or scarring 4. Uneven skin tone or patchiness It's essential to note that bleach treatments can be damaging, especially if done frequently or without proper care. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends avoiding bleach treatments altogether.
