I've been dealing with ringworm around my groin for the past couple of months. I've tried a bunch of creams with no luck, but then a friend recommended Sapatlotion. It finally worked, but now its left this black scar in the area that was infected. Is there any way to get rid of this scar, and how long might that take? Can you recommend any effective scar removal creams?

View allI've had this brown vertical line on the nail of my middle finger for about a year now, and there's been no pain or growth. I stumbled upon something saying these lines could be linked to melanoma skin cancer, which freaked me out a bit. No one in my family has ever had cancer, but should I be worried about this line on my nail?
The brown vertical line in your nail plate may be due to a condition called longitudinal melanonychia. While it can sometimes be a sign of melanoma, it is important to consider other causes first. In your case, since there is no associated growth or pain, it may not be a cause for concern. However, it is still recommended to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm really worried because I've noticed more and more dark spots and blackness appearing on my face, especially around my eyes and under them. It seems like my face is getting darker every day. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing hyperpigmentation. You can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to apply the cream on the affected areas twice a day, and remember to follow up with your skincare routine.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my penis for a few months now. I saw my GP and they gave me Daktarin cream, which really helped with the symptoms. But now I've run out and I'm noticing the dry skin coming back. I got prescribed Daktacort cream this time, but it says not to use it on the genital area. Is it actually safe to use there? Also, since it's just mild dry skin at this point, could using shea butter as a moisturizer be a good idea?
Daktacort cream contains an antifungal (miconazole) and a mild corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) which can be effective for fungal infections. However, it is not recommended for use on the genital region due to the presence of the corticosteroid which can cause thinning of the skin in that area. It is best to consult your healthcare provider for an alternative treatment for your genital fungal infection. As for using shea butter as a moisturizer for mild dry skin, it can be a good option as shea butter is known for its moisturizing properties.
