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'm dealing with painful mouth ulcers on my tongue and lips that show up every month. They really hurt and I'm not sure what to do about them. Could you suggest what might help or if there's a specific type of doctor I should see for this?

I accidentally brushed my leg against my bike's engine and the skin has turned white. It's not too painful, but I'm a little worried since it's a bit unusual. Is this something I should be concerned about, or will it heal on its own?

Minor burns from touching a bike engine can cause white discoloration. Follow these steps: Immediate Care 1. Run cool tap water over the affected area for 10-15 minutes to reduce temperature. 2. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment (e.g., Neosporin or Bacitracin). 3. Cover with a non-stick, sterile bandage. Aftercare 1. Keep the area clean and dry. 2. Apply ointment 2-3 times a day. 3. Monitor for signs of infection (redness, swelling, increased pain). 4. Avoid breaking blisters or scratchin
