I've been dealing with this ringworm problem for about six years now. I've tried all sorts of antifungal soaps and creams, but nothing seems to help. It's actually spreading all over my body. What should I do?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as prolonged ringworm infections may require oral antifungal medications like fluconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine, and ensure to complete the full treatment course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence and further spreading.

I've been dealing with dark patches on my inner thighs for about five years now. Theyre really noticeable because there's not much of a gap between my legs, so they rub together and even against my testis when I walk. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm worried about whether there's anything I can do to lighten the skin or prevent this from happening. Is there something specific causing this, or any treatment youd recommend?
Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm trying to deal with some acne scars, and my dermatologist recommended nirvalyte gel. But unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere. Do you have any suggestions for other treatments? The pigmentation is just a bit, but the scars are more of the pitting type. I'm curious if there's something else that might help!
You can consider using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas at night. Additionally, you can also try using a vitamin C serum to help with pigmentation. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these treatments do not show significant improvement, you may consider procedures like microdermabrasion or laser therapy after consulting with a dermatologist.
