I've been dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my skin for about 6 months now. I've started using Fourderm, and while it seemed to work initially, the infection comes back after just a couple of days. I'm frustrated and unsure of what to do next. Is there something I'm missing or another treatment I should try?

Given the recurring nature of your fungal infection, consider consulting a dermatologist to reassess the treatment plan; meanwhile, continue using Fourderm cream as directed, and complement it with additional measures: keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, avoid sharing personal items, and apply an antifungal powder or spray to prevent moisture accumulation, which can help reduce the frequency of recurrence.

I got this boil on my nose about two weeks ago. At first, it was just a red bump, but then it filled up with pus. It wouldn't pop on its own, so I decided to pop and drain it yesterday. Now it's all red and swollen. What should I do now?
don't scratch it or squeeze it basic topical antibiotic ointment would help in healing,if it grows visit Dermatologist for treatment.

I'm noticing this really dark black layer that keeps forming on just my nose and chin. It's only happening in those areas and it's starting to worry me. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Be gentle with your skin. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or using products that could irritate it further. Maintain a consistent skincare routine and be patient, as fading dark spots can take time (usually a few weeks to a couple of months). Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants to support overall skin health. If the problem persists or if you suspect an underlying skin condition, a dermatologist can provide targeted treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription-strength creams to address the issue.
