I've been dealing with ringworm for a year now, and allopathy hasn't really helped. I've switched to Ayurveda, and it seems to be showing some good results. But I came across something online that mentioned Salicylic Acid or sapat lotion might work fast, like in just two days. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and would really appreciate an honest answer. Is there any truth to this idea?

I'm a bit worried about something. I had a 60 TCA cross done recently, and by the fifth day, I noticed that my skin started turning yellowish-white. I'm really suspecting it might be infected. I've been using terramycin skin ointment, but now I'm seeing some white stuff and pus coming out. Is this kind of reaction normal with this ointment?
