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.

View allI've been dealing with scabies for about a week now, and I've been using benzyl benzoate 25 on my body. I've avoided my face and penis area, but now I've noticed some small red bumps on the head of my penis. Is it safe to apply the cream there, or should I try something else? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.
No it is not advised.

My fianc has been dealing with these itchy rashes around his thighs, butt, and even on his penis for about four months now and it's really starting to get him down. He tried using some medicine for a fungal infection but it hasn't helped. It all began with these ring-like scars, then more turned up looking like pimples, and now there're rashes that resemble scratch marks. Since we're getting married in March 2018, we're both pretty worried. Does anyone have any advice on what we should do?
I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper evaluation, as there could be an underlying issue such as eczema, psoriasis, or a different fungal infection. Early treatment can help manage the symptoms and provide relief.

I'm really confused about what's going on with my skin. I've been noticing some uneven tone and these dark patches, especially near my nose. I'm trying to figure out if this is due to tanning or if it's something to do with pigmentation. Can you help me understand the difference between the two?
Tanning is the skin's natural response to exposure to UV radiation, leading to the darkening of the skin. It is usually temporary and fades away as the skin regenerates. On the other hand, pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, which can be affected by various factors such as genetics, hormones, and sun exposure. Dark patches near the nose could be a result of both tanning and pigmentation issues. To address this, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
