I've been dealing with scars for about five years now and recently saw an ad for this scar removal cream called Mederma. I'm 33 and curious if this cream would actually help get rid of my scars. Is it safe to use, or should I be cautious?

View allSo I've been using Betnovate N cream and it really helped lighten my face, but when I stopped using it, my face got darker again and I've also ended up with dark circles. Can you suggest a good cream for fairness, and maybe help with the back skin issue too?
To address the darkening and dark circles on your face, you can try using a cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone in the night for a limited period under the guidance of a dermatologist. For fairness, you can use a cream containing Kojic Acid, Arbutin, and Vitamin C in the morning. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

I've been dealing with this skin fungal infection for 34 years, and though I'm finally better, I'm left with scars all over my body that really bother me. They're in dark and light patches and spots, especially on my chest, waist, the sides of private areas, my back, and even my right leg below the knee. Theyre also under my left armpit and I get light dark spots on my face. What can I do to treat these scars? Are there any soaps or creams you'd recommend for long-term use?

I've been dealing with these really itchy red circles on my skin, and it's kind of freaking me out. The edges of these circles have these little boil-like bumps, and when they dry out, there's this white flaky stuff. Does this sound familiar to you, and what do you think it might be? I'm really hoping for some advice on what could be causing this and what I should do next.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.
