I've been dealing with ringworm on the back of my neck for over six months now, and I'm really struggling to find relief. Ive tried using TezcortGM ointment, but every time I apply it, painful boils appear after a few days. It's really uncomfortable, but if I stop using the ointment, the ringworm spreads and gets itchy and exfoliates. I've also tried taking SAFI, but it hasn't been much help either. I've seen a doctor, but that didn't seem to work out. This condition only affects my back neck and nowhere else on my body. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to manage or cure this issue.

I'm worried because my inner thighs are a lot darker than the rest of my skin. I've heard about kojitin cream and I'm wondering if it could help lighten the area. If it works, how long would it take to see results? And if it doesn't work, is there something else I can try to even out my skin tone there?

usually it's darker than rest of the skin for almost everyone no need to worry maintain personal hygiene,if you are conscious visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
