I've been dealing with a ringworm infection in my groin area for the past three months. It's been really itchy, and while using terbinafine cream and tablets seems to have helpedit's about 80% healed nowI'm still getting new ringworms in the same spot. The old ones are getting bigger, and my skin in that area has turned a light pink, lighter than the rest of my skin. Could this be tinea versicolor? And how long will it take to completely get rid of it?

Consult a dermatologist to reassess the persistent ringworm infection and skin discoloration, as it may not be tinea versicolor, and adjust treatment with oral antifungals or topical creams to achieve complete recovery, which may take 2-6 weeks.

View allI've been having this issue with my palms feeling itchy for the past few days, and it's definitely not because they're dry. I'm puzzled about what's causing it. Could you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do next?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

My mom has developed some extra skin growth on her finger I've attached a photo. I'm thinking surgery might be needed but I'm not sure which type of doctor to see in Bangalore. Can you suggest a specialist or hospital for this?
For a skin growth on a finger, a dermatologist is the best specialist to consult in Bangalore. They can accurately diagnose the growth, determine if it's a skin tag (a common, benign growth), or if further investigation (like a biopsy) is needed. If removal is necessary, a dermatologist can perform it in a safe and efficient manner.
