I've been dealing with ringworm for a whole year now, and even after seeing a dermatologist, it hasnt gotten any better. Can you suggest anything else I can try to finally get rid of it?

View allI've been using Patchex tablets and Mel Bild solution for the past two months to deal with my patches. While Mel Bild seems to work on the existing patches, I've noticed that new ones keep popping up. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something else going on? What should I do next?
It seems like the current treatment is not fully effective in preventing the formation of new patches. I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol cream to help reduce inflammation and prevent the development of new patches. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks, then gradually taper off.

I'm really considering getting my hair straightened, but I'm worried about any potential damage it might cause. Does it lead to hair loss or affect hair growth? Can you shed some light on this?
Chemical treatments like hair straightening and hair smoothening can indeed cause damage to the hair if not done properly or if the hair is not cared for adequately post-treatment. These treatments involve using chemicals that can weaken the hair shaft and make it more prone to breakage. To minimize damage, it is important to use a good quality heat protectant spray before using any heat styling tools and to regularly deep condition your hair. To prevent hair fall or stunted hair growth, you can consider using hair care products that promote hair strength and growth. I recommend using a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for damaged hair, along with a hair serum containing ingredients like biotin and keratin to help strengthen the hair follicles. If you still want to go ahead with hair straightening, I suggest using a reputable salon and opting for a treatment that uses quality products. Additionally, consider getting regular trims to prevent split ends and breakage.

I've had clear skin for a long time, but recently, I had a bad allergic reaction while I was in another state, and now I'm getting these small white pus-filled bumps on my face. They appear and disappear, but leave these flesh-colored bumps that have been sticking around. It's been almost a year like this, and I've tried doxycycline and various acne medications with no success. I even used Proactiv years ago, and it worked then, but now it just irritates my skin. What do you think could be causing this and is there anything else I can try to get rid of these bumps?
that coul be pemphigous which is a microbial infection,visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
