I've been dealing with ringworm for a whole year now, and none of the treatments I've tried seem to be making any difference. I've used terbinafine and clotrimazole cream, ketoconazole lotion and soap, and even took terefin and itrasys tablets. It's getting really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what I could try next or why these aren't working? What should I do?

I'm a 39-year-old woman and had my gallbladder removed about a year ago. Six months later, I started getting pimples and marks on my skin, which I've never dealt with before. My skin is pretty fair, and I've tried using some products like sebeam soap, cleargel, and epiduo, as recommended by a dermatologist. It's been three weeks, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What's going on, and what else can I do to clear these up?
